which one?
dmraid i have no info, just tried it once,
mdadm: check the archives of this list
3.0.2 is broken
3.0.3 fixes some bugs
many more bug fixes are in git and will be in 3.1.2 i believe.

/dev/mapper is dmraid not mdadm,
besides that what do you mean with two many?
show evidence (dmsetup ls, dmraid -c, etc)
and maybe send it to ataraid-list at redhat.com, which deals with dmraid
