Usually it means your data is corrupted. Some possible reasons are:

- bad sectors or media deficiencies
- power failures or fluctuations that affected the drive and/or the 
controller
- bad cables
- bugs, either in hardware (motherboard, controller) or software (geli).

It's impossible to tell which one of these is more likely without more 
information (e.g. did you receive any other messages, such as CRC errors 
on the drive?)
