+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <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>
