You should apply 'gstripe dump' to stripe components, so in your case to
ad8s2 and ad12s2.

If 'geli dump /dev/stripe/private' doesn't show anything, try dumping
the last sector:

	# dd if=/dev/stripe/private count=1 iseek=3760270079 | hexdump -C | head

Even if the default stripesize changed, it shouldn't affect your setup,
as stripesize is kept in metadata and read from there.
