I've read things that allude to a lack of support... "Much like support for RAID-5, support for encrypted filesystems is experimental." - Absolute OpenBSD 2nd Edition (2013), page 166.
But a better source than this slowly aging tome is the more regularly updated website: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#softraidFDE Which seems to indicate FDE is supported (unless you are also doing RAID on the same device). All-in-all... I can see how some admins might feel like they sometimes get mixed signals.

Any idea where you read that? FDE with bioctl/softraid crypto is expected to work.
