Thanks for taking a look at this! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work.
Here's what I did to try it:
I changed /etc/default/haveged as follows --
< #DAEMON_ARGS=""
---
> DAEMON_ARGS="--data=16"
Then as root did
service haveged restart
and
service haveged status
Results same as above.
I also tried --
< #DAEMON_ARGS=""
---
> DAEMON_ARGS="--data=16 --inst=16"
which does not seem to work, either.
Interestingly, running haveged in the foreground, without any cache size hints,
seems to work fine:
root@client:~# haveged -n 2048 -f - > /tmp/sample
haveged: command socket is listening at fd 3
Writing 2 K byte output to stdout
root@client:~# ls -l /tmp/sample
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2048 Mar 31 00:15 /tmp/sample
