From f094c7572c513880b80a4bcb12a2d3a2a3e1a3c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Renaud Métrich Date: Dec 10 2020 10:20:58 +0000 Subject: rngd: new module running early during boot to help generating entropy when system's default entropy sources are poor (e.g. use of SSD disks or UEFI RNG not available) On systems with low entropy at boot, the boot can take up to several hours, specially when NBDE is used (e.g. clevis) which makes use of the random number generator. Enabling rngd service at boot early, because dracut-initqueue runs, enables to initialize the random number generator in a couple of seconds instead of minutes or hours.
