>Description:
I am running jails with encrypted root /var and /usr filesystems each.
Each jail is within a separate slice of ATA-RAID.
Each slice has 3 filessystems (/ /var /usr for jail respectively)

After some time of work, the gbde filesystems that are used intensively crush and the entire system seems frozen.
The main system is located on regular filesystems in the very first slice, so it is well isolated.

The only way to restore is to reboot and then attach gbde drives,
check filesystems, which indicates a lot of errors
in superblock and soft-updates then mount and start the jails
it works for a while, and then freezes again.
I turned softupdates off but it didn't help.
>How-To-Repeat:
I have no idea, sorry. I guess, just create the partition and use it.

I can provide any information you need about the system.
I may consider even giving the access to the system itself,
just let me know.
