Hello,
I was just sorting randomly some jpg image files using
The above command never exited, I had to kill it. Later I noticed that one of my CPU is always running 100%. top -S reveals that it is rand_harvestq kernel service.
I read here someone saying that sysctls to turn off harvesting is documented in random(6). I had a look at that document, but wasn't clear to me how to turn it off, I tried to play with the mask, but nothing.
This occurs on 12-ALPHA1 and 11.2.
Any idea?
