Hi, Ricardo,
Your geoserver already starts in a reasonable time. I was unsettled
with my installation because it took six minutes. Since haveged did not
change the time needed to run your test, it seems geoserver (actually
tomcat8) is not limited by entropy on startup.
To make sure you have enough entropy, run the following on the same
machine but on a separate console:
watch cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
Then run the startup test on the original console. The reported
entropy is expected to be over 1000 bits and likely over 2000 bits. "man
random" says the maximum is 4096. If it goes under 1000 you are
"starved" for entropy and haveged is not working properly. My guess is
that your number will be a healthy value over 2000 bits and you should
try a different approach to improve your startup time, which by the way
seems fine to me.
Best,
Daniel
