--Qxx1br4bt0+wmkIi Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm doing to backing on the rc.d scripts to try and cleanup diskless booting and I noticed a problem with gbde_swap. It has a dependency on random which depends on mountcritlocal which depends on disks which gbde_swap provides thus creating a circular dependency. I think gbde_swap it too early do depend on random and should instead depend on initrandom. Users who need high-quality saved entropy this early will just have to be sure they set entropy_file to a location that is reachable early in the process so initrandom can use it. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
