Bug#630970: added code to trigger disk read/write in svn
Hi,
I added some code in svn that starts a process in the background which
hopefully creates some entropy by trigering disk read/write:
+TMPFILE=`mktemp`
+
+## Start process in the background:
+egrep 'ab' /etc/* >> $TMPFILE 2>&1 &
+
+# lifetime 10 years
$opensslbin req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 \
-config $certconf -days 3650 \
- -out $privkey -keyout $privkey > /dev/null 2>&1 \
+ -out $privkey -keyout $privkey >> $TMPFILE 2>&1 \
|| echo "error: problems running openssl." 1>&2
+rm $TMPFILE
We have to test if that helps.
Cheers,
Andi
