/dev/random is the system-provided random byte stream for UNIX/Linux and some other platforms. In order to generate a reasonably random sequence, it needs sources of randomness, such as keyboard interrupts, mouse movements, radioactive decay; than randomness is termed entropy, and until there's enough of it, the stream will block when requests are made to it. > "main" prio=6 tid=0x002a7000 nid=0xd5c runnable > [0x0090f000..0x0090fe54] > java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE > at java.io.FileOutputStream.close0(Native Method) > at java.io.FileOutputStream.close(FileOutputStream.java:279) > at java.io.FilterOutputStream.close(FilterOutputStream.java:143) The above is the interesting one: it's stuck in close(), waiting for something in the underlying file system.
