It's not, but it would be nice if this could be done automatically
somehow, for services that start at boot (e.g. httpd) that need data
on other softraid crypto devices.
Doing an `rcctl restart httpd` in /etc/rc.local right after the fsck
and mount seems a bit silly.

How about a huge /var/www or /var/<database_of_choice> that's not on
your primary softraid crypto device?

I use the -p option to bioctl in a hotplugd(8) attach script to
automatically mount partitions on hot-plugged (USB) disks that use
softraid crypto. Having a way to do this for extra disks at boot is
something I've briefly looked at in the past but didn't find a nice
solution for. Maybe Matthew finds something interesting :)
