freebsd stable - Jul 2005 - GEOM_STRIPE Problems on Reboot

I posted the following on -questions but have not received any 
assistance.  I also have since tried compiling GEOM_STRIPE support in 
the kernel but get the same behavior (except that I can't perform the 
kldunload/load workaround).  I'm hoping someone here may be able to 
point me in the right direction

Thanks,

Drew

-------- Original Message --------

I just installed 5.4-RELEASE. I created a gstripe volume per the

example in the man page.  Googling revealed that I needed to load the 
geom_stripe module upon reboot so the volume can be created.  I added 
the following line to /boot/loader.conf:

geom_stripe_load="yes"

Now upon reboot, I get this output:

GEOM_STRIPE: Cannot add disk da0s1d to data (error=17).
GEOM_STRIPE: Cannot add disk da1s1d to data (error=17).
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a

Then the machine comes up in single user mode.  At this point if I 
unload and reload geom_stripe, then the volume is created just fine and 
I can boot the system in full production mode.  Any ideas on why I'm 
seeing this behavior?  How can I fix it so that my machine reboots 
without incident?

Thanks,

Drew

  It looks like it's trying to add both disks again. I'd try to clean 
the metadata (gstripe clear from a fixit cdrom) and recreate it but I 
might be wrong.
