Yes. It is because gstripe store metadata in the last provider's sector
and if two providers ends in the same place - you have a problem.
In that case, you should create you stripe by adding '-h' option, which
will add provider's name to metadata, so only this provider will be
connected to your stripe.

errno(2): EEXIST - File exists.
It means that gstripe detects two (or more) providers which claim to be
your stripe components.
