If I enable FS-verity and later find that I need to patch a file to fix some problem, how do I as the sysadmin tell Linux that this change is authorized? Do I disable FS-verity for that specific file? Disable FS-verity globally? Add my own key to the kernel's keyring? Build and sign my own RPM package? What prevents an attacker from doing the same? Will files under /etc be covered, or will local configuration still be possible? Björn Persson
