It *was* in automatic mode since it's been running and rebooting for
the past 2 years without any commands being issued in scripts.
The module was loaded but I unloaded it and reloaded it. Strangely,
the size of the module (as given by 'kldstat') changed. The output
line went from
2 1 0xc0b0c000 6c9c geom_stripe.ko
to
4 1 0xc4f42000 6000 geom_stripe.ko
The /dev/stripe directory is still not present.

Yes, the line is there (in /boot/loader.conf).
I fear the boot sector of one of the drives has been corrupted.
