Hm, maybe I was a bit too eager and fast changing the status. What I meant was that /dev/random needs noise to generate random numbers:
"When the entropy pool is empty, reads from /dev/random will block until additional environmental noise is gathered." (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//dev/random) So it actually makes sense that you should use /dev/urandom for this task. Since we are "only" talking about encrypting a swap partition, I think this is safe enough. But please correct me on this, if I'm wrong. -- [jaunty] encrypted swap breaks (or slows a lot) the boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367260 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
