Thanks for your reply.  Yes, now I see that it *DOES* look like it's 
trying to add it twice.  I haven't tried cleaning the metadata as you 
suggest because I don't want to lose data on the drive if I can avoid 
it.  Would your suggestion wipe the drive?

Also, I wonder if the metadata is really bad?  It works just fine if I 
kldunload and kldload the module.  I ask because I would think that if 
the metadata were bad, I would get this error every time I created the 
stripe.

So where in the boot sequence is GEOM_STRIPE loaded?  I'm starting to 
suspect it's being loaded twice.  I have it in /boot/loader.conf which 
is where I thought it should be.  Is there anywhere else to check?

Thanks,

Drew
