+
+ <para><filename>systemd-random-seed.service</filename> is a
+ service that restores the random seed of the system at early boot
+ and saves it at shutdown. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>random</refentrytitle><manvolnum>4</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details. Saving/restoring the random seed across boots
+ increases the amount of available entropy early at boot. On disk
+ the random seed is stored in
+ <filename>/var/lib/systemd/random-seed</filename>.</para>
