>Description:
My machine is setup so that I have a geli device running on a gstripe device made from 2 gmirror devices. My boot loader is set to load gmirror, gstripe and geli. On boot my rc.local calls a script to mount the encrypted partition. Please see below for details:

gmirror status
                Name    Status  Components
mirror/forstripe01s2  COMPLETE  ad0s2
                                ad1s2
mirror/forstripe23s2  COMPLETE  ad2s2
                                ad3s2

gstripe status
          Name  Status  Components
stripe/forgeli      UP  mirror/forstripe01s2
                        mirror/forstripe23s2

geli status
              Name  Status  Components
stripe/forgeli.eli     N/A  stripe/forgeli

cat /boot/loader.conf 
snd_hda_load="YES"
geom_mirror_load="YES"
geom_stripe_load="YES"
geom_eli_load="YES"
sem_load="YES"
kern.geom.stripe.fast=1
kern.geom.stripe.maxmem=2621440
kern.geom.eli.threads=2

cat /root/setup/cryptstart.sh 
#!/bin/sh
#gmirror load
#gstripe load
#geli load
#gmirror label forstripe01s2 ad0s2 ad1s2
#gmirror label forstripe23s2 ad2s2 ad3s2
gstripe create forgeli /dev/mirror/forstripe01s2 /dev/mirror/forstripe23s2
geli attach /dev/stripe/forgeli
fsck_ufs -C -y /dev/stripe/forgeli.eli
mount /dev/stripe/forgeli.eli /mnt/data

Recently (31st Jan 2010) I rebuilt my kernel and OS from the lastest RELENG_8 cvs tag code base. When I rebooted the geli attach command would fail (Could not read meta data). I eventually narrowed this down to a problem with gstripe by booting from a 8.0 release install. That install would still work even when I changed the kernel to the RELENG_8 kernel I had build previously, not that the newly built gmirror and geli commands also worked, using the newly build gstripe command was the problem.
