-	   This is the integrity target.
+	  This device-mapper target emulates a block device that has additional
+	  per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information.
+
+	  The dm-integrity target is used with the dm-crypt target to provide
+	  authenticated disk encryption or it can also be used as a standalone
+	  target. In standalone mode it calculates and verifies the data integrity
+	  internally.
+
+	  You should enable this option if you plan to use dm-crypt target
+	  in authenticated disk encryption mode.
+
+	  To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will
+	  be called dm-integrity.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
