We cannot afford to set aside 25% of read-only partition space for
redundancy on mobile devices, and would rather not impact performance
any more than dm-verity already does. With error correction we have
0.8% space overhead in our use case and no performance degradation if
the partition is not corrupted.
I'm probably missing here some hw knowledge here - but if you loose
a flash block of some size - then you typically get 'error' for
all bytes the sector/block.
So how do you want to correctly 'restore' missing full sectors with just
0.8% data overhead ??
Or is the device which fails to correct block returning something 'still
usable' (since e.g. SATA disk certainly not)
