It is to handle those increasing the pool size in the kernel and make the change last across boots. > that said, given your code above, I get differing results for this > simple example: > > $ echo foo > /tmp/bar > $ find /tmp/bar -printf %s > 4 > $ ls -s --block-size=1 /tmp/bar | cut -d' ' -f1 > 4096 How strange. When I test it, I get this result: % (f=/var/lib/urandom/random-seed; find $f -printf "%s\n"; ls -s --block-size=1 $f|cut -d" " -f1) 4096 4096 % Perhaps ls round up to the nearest block?
