[PATCH v3 4/4] Document an example of how the tunables relate in dm-integrity.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For example, on a device using the default interleave_sectors of 32768, a
block_size of 512, and an internal_hash of crc32c with a tag size of 4
bytes, it will take 128 KiB of tags to track a full data area, requiring
256 sectors of metadata per data area. With the default buffer_sectors of
128, that means there will be 2 buffers per metadata area, or 2 buffers
per 16 MiB of data.
