NetBSD XXX 9.1_STABLE NetBSD 9.1_STABLE (GENERIC) #2: Sun Jan 3 11:19:52 PST 2021 root%dell.wonderland.de@localhost:/usr/obj/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd6
>Description:
/etc/rc.d/cgd stalls in cgdconfig -C on encrypted swap partitions when following /wiki.netbsd.org/guide/cgd/
The stall happens only during boot. When invoking /etc/rc.d/cgd after completion of the boot process, cgdconfig does not stall. See cgdconfig(8) for an explanation:
urandomkey The method simply reads /dev/urandom and uses the
resulting bits as the key. This is similar to the
randomkey method, but it guarantees that cgdconfig
will not stall waiting for hard-random bits (useful
when configuring a cgd for swap at boot time).
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Please replace randomkey with urandomkey in section "Using a random-key cgd for swap".
