  59                 <para><filename>systemd-random-seed-load.service</filename>
  60                 is an early-boot service that restores the random seed
  61                 of the
  62                 system. <filename>systemd-random-seed-save.service</filename>
  63                 is a late-shutdown service that saves the random seed
  64                 of the system. See
  65                 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>random</refentrytitle><manvolnum>4</manvolnum></citerefentry>
  66                 for details. Saving/restoring the random seed across
  67                 boots increases the amount of available entropy early
  68                 at boot. On disk the random seed is stored in
  69                 <filename>/var/lib/random-seed</filename>.</para>
