#3 Re: Out of entropy? Posted by Steve (82.41.xx.xx) on Wed 15 Feb 2006 at 13:37 Actually no this was on a Redhat Enterprise Server 3 machine. Doing some googling afterwards I found a related RedHat bug report filed against a slightly earlier kernel concerning the failure to update the entropy pool once it had been depleted. When I get back to work tomorrow I'll post the bug number for future reference. I find the etch problem you describe strange since as far as the running kernel is concerned it does have a local disk. (Whatever is setup in /etc/xen/foo.cfg will be the device used.) Since I mostly run Sarge under Xen I've not been bothered by this myself. Steve
