I've been running a GELI encrypted /home partition on 6.2-STABLE amd64
for months without problems. I've had trouble with GELI on usb
harddisks, but that seems to be related to the USB/ATAPI controller.

As I said no dma errors or any hd related errors of any sort with
encyrption turned off. How big are your drives?

I have two 160GB SATA150 drives in a mirrored configuration (VIA Tech
V-RAID RAID1). The encrypted partition is 120GB.

In that case the partition is too small if the problem is what we think it is.
