Description Roman Žilka 2013-05-15 22:54:41 UTC 
crypto-loop-backed filesystems use encryption from the moment they are open by the crypto-loop initscript. Because of that, they could benefit from "use entropy" in the initscript's depend(). "Entropy" is provided by RNG control daemons such as rng-tools.

Reproducible: Always

util-linux's crypto-loop code is dead

you can also modify your /etc/conf.d/crypto-loop to declare custom deps ...
