You filled the disk with random data, which is not a valid metadata
format...
I followed the FAQ, http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#softraidCrypto .
Hrmmm, it looks like that part of the FAQ is incorrect or missing a step.
You should be able to work around it by either zeroing the first ~1MB of
disk (per the FAQ), or by using 'bioctl -C force' (carefully).
Actually, re-reading this it should be correct - the "invalid metadata format"
error is more likely indicating an issue identifying the partition type/size
(as unhelpful as that is). Could you provide the output from `disklabel sd0'?
Currently have have created a standard filesystem and have it mounted,
disklable looks like so:

I was a little surprised that the offset was 1024, haven't seen that before.
If i unmount, send some random data to the drive, re-init the drive and
then run run disklabel it looks like so:
# umount /backup
# dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/rsd0c bs=1m

Additionally, the system kernel paniced when I was moving data to it the
other day, the automatic fsck took 8 minutes for the 32Tb drive.
