From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> Since ext4 verity is going to be an RO_COMPAT feature rather than an INCOMPAT one, the on-disk i_size of verity inodes needs to be the data size rather than the full size. Consequently, verity inodes will have initialized blocks past i_size, containing the Merkle tree and other verity metadata. So e2fsck must not fix the i_size of such inodes as it normally would.
