Sorry for the double post, but the only problem that I've encountered is after creating a encrypted provider with geli(8), that provider cannot be partitioned using the GPT scheme. You can still partition it using gpart(8), but the scheme must be BSD or MBR. I am not sure whether this is a bug or just the way GPT partitions work, but it is not that big of a problem unless you want to have very large encrypted providers that are GPT scheme partitions.
