I've done this for about a year. Works just fine for me, but I'm just  
a single user.

FWIW, the performance of this setup *seems* better to be better than  
other things like this I've used: GEOM on FreeBSD and encrypted  
loopback on top of (unencrypted) RAID5.


Anyway encrypting the disks, then aggregating those encrypted  
loopback devices into a RAID5, works fine for me...
