DESCRIPTION

       systemd-random-seed-load.service is an early-boot service that restores the random seed of
       the system.  systemd-random-seed-save.service is a late-shutdown service that saves the
       random seed of the system. See random(4) 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 /var/lib/random-seed.
