Default Encrypting gvinum raid5

hi!

Is there any method to use encrypted raid5 volumes?
i created the raid5 volume with gvinum, works fine, but when i try to
encrypt it:
geli init -P -K /root/enc.key /dev/gvinum/raid5
it says:
Cannot store Metadata....
any ideas?
thank you!

you can make huge empty file(huge one). Attach it with mdconfig and use it as regular disk.
you should be able to encrypt it with geli.
