dmraid false positive

[Greg Felix]

Hi,

I've got a computer capable of setting up an isw RAID.  It can also be
switched to handle the two disks separately, which I'm currently
doing.  The problem is that when I boot up dmraid is still finding a
RAID array.  The problems are: 1. I don't have a RAID array 2. The
array it is finding is of type sil (not isw) 3.  The array is being
setup only on my second disk (/dev/sdb).  Anybody ever seen this?  I
don't know what the sil metadata looks like or where is should be on
the disk.  I guess this might not be a dmraid bug since if the disk
really has metadata on it than dmraid is doing what it should by
setting up the array.

I just wanted to see what you all think. Or whether you know anything
off hand about this.

Below are some dmraid outputs:
