It gets used for integrity guarantees in certain containers, where the layers of tarballs are replaced by layers of squashfs, with the dmverity root hash for each layer listed in the signed manifest, e.g. github.com/project-stacker/stacker github.com/project-machine/atomfs This is used of course to verify container integrity, and also gets used by some projects and products to create an RFS from such images during initrd github.com/project-machine/mos -serge
