Hi all-
I am happy to see that virtio_random(4) will be included in FreeBSD 10.1. To
try it out, I loaded up BETA1 in a virtual machine with entropy passthrough
enabled. After booting it with the virtio_random module loaded I see this in
dmesg:
virtio_pci3: <VirtIO PCI Entropy adapter> port 0xc0a0-0xc0bf irq 10 at device
6.0 on pci0
vtrnd0: <VirtIO Entropy Adapter> on virtio_pci3
virtio_pci3: host features: 0x71000000 <EventIdx,RingIndirect,NotifyOnEmpty>
virtio_pci3: negotiated features: 0
So far, so good. (I think? The 'negotiated features: 0' gives me pause..)
Now how do I use the driver as an entropy source (or verify that it's being
used)? I don't see any difference in the output of "sysctl kern.random" with or
without the driver loaded. Is something missing?
Thanks,
JN
