Hi,

Yes, the random seed is updated during each boot and shutdown. How
that's done is described in
https://tails.net/contribute/design/random/#index2h1.
> 2. Is the "Random seed" static aka doesn't change if your using Persistent Storage?
The random seed is independent of the Persistent Storage.

That is surprising, as far as I know Tails never created a file "Random
seed" in the Persistent Storage. Maybe some app or script you ran
created it?
Cheers
