good to know... by 'manually stacking them' do you mean like, manually getting checksum between certain tasks by just typing it in? or i suppose one could set up a cron job, or is there some automated checksum service that could interface with the lvm manager with some scripting...?
i'm wondering how often you actually *need* to check integrity of the disk, considering every write to disk changes the checksum (right? lol) crc32 makes sense most of the time, because it's fast and you really just want to make sure the disk hasn't been corrupted, say between reboots or on mount/diskmount, but using integrity checks as part of a security / pwn detection protocol is is different concern than random borking, which is why crc32 is used, i guess, it's not supposed to be a "security* feature
i'm not very smart and i'm going to be doing a rather complicated server install involving encrypted and unencrypted volumes/groups, so i do appreciate *anything* you can offer on this issue, haha
