Note: The default size of the linux kernel entropy pool is 4096 bits, and the default 'write_wakup_threshold' - defining the number of bits of entropy below which we wake up processes that do a select() or poll() for write access to /dev/random - is set to 128, which is not sufficient for machines that consume a lots of entropy. The 'write_wakup_threshold' can be set manually via sysfs in '/proc/sys/kernel/random/write_wakeup_threshold' but haveged is able to set it by itself through the '-w' option.stable/0.6
