(Apologies if I am making an assumption on people's knowledge) 

Entropy in disk encryption is the "random information"  collected by an computers OS or encryption application for use in encrypting a hard disk.

Those with more knowledge in encryption: could you please give an explanation of how "a large amount" of entropy can be generated during disk encryption? 

I've only ever used/seen keyboard/mouse input as a way to generate it in encryption tools. I would guess for the "average smart thief" (What is an average smart thief?) that is sufficient? 

Something I've also looked for an answer for is: Using those mouse/keyboard inputs as entropy generators, whats the best approach to use? Is there one?

thanks,
Bernard
