Data corrupted error on dm-verity iMX6dl

Hi Team,
I'm using dm-verity in yocto Linux 5.15 on the imx6dl board. On boot
when device mapper creates I'm getting a data block corrupted error,
Can you please help to fix this issue.?

Error log:

Hi @Aravinthkumar

Make sure that the disk has not been changed after the HASH tree is made. For example, such as mount, umount. Then pay attention, after making the hash tree, do not change the content in it.

Would you like to share your processing steps? If there is still a problem.

Best regards

Harvey

Thanks for your response. We have not done any changes on disk.

It seems hash mismatch between data and hash partition block when create mapper device, "/dev/mmcblk3p3 /dev/mmcblk3p2 11757d96406b3407f8ab9109908c451a061c2fd1e66a38f830bb31ebc4cb5b51".

Can you share your full log and whole running steps, we can help analyze dm-verity procedure.

Best regards

@Aravinthkumar
Could you share the resolution to this block corruption?
