Basically every block-like device is a GEOM member these days automounting or not.

And by very old, I mean since GEOM's introduction. http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-stable@freebsd.org/msg104787.html You can easily find older ones, but this post explains a bit of the technical difficulty behind the bug. -- Adam Vande More
