Hi Milan,
Yes, that is correct that the attacks it protects against is when the underlying storage is offline. We have discussed if we should reset the bitmap at certain events but decided against it.
Cheers,
Patrik

Hi,
what happens, if a block is read, validated, marked in bitset and
1) something changes in the underlying device (data corruption, FTL hiccup,
intentional remapping to different device-mapper device through table change)
2) user flushes all page caches
3) the same block is read again.
Does it read and use unverified block from the corrupted device in this case?
(In general, just reading the whole device means de-facto verification deactivation.)
If so, your thread model assumes that you cannot attack underlying storage while
it is in operation, is it the correct assumption?
