I am use to low random entropy on my arm boards, not an intel.
On my Lenovo x120e,
cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
reports 3190 bits of entropy.
On my armv7 with Centos7 I would get 130 unless I installed rng-tools and then I get ~1300. SSH into one and it drops back to 30! for a few minutes. Sigh.
Anyway on my new Zotac nano ad12 with an AMD E-1800 duo core, I am seeing 180.
I installed rng-tools and no change. Does anyone here know how to improve the random entropy?
thanks
