My bad, apologies, dm-verity is used to verify the boot path and deals with 
read-only fs.  With FEC it would also be able to recover from some limited 
data corruption.  I meant to write *dm-integrity*!  Thanks for correcting me.  
Either way, if the data being written is corrupted due to faulty RAM, the 
result will be corrupted too.
