dmraid sees no raid disks:

#  dmraid -r
No RAID disks

but they are there:
# mpt-status  -i 2
ioc0 vol_id 2 type IM, 2 phy, 67 GB, state OPTIMAL, flags ENABLED
ioc0 phy 1 scsi_id 4 SEAGATE  ST973401LSUN72G  0556, 68 GB, state 
ONLINE, flags NONE
ioc0 phy 0 scsi_id 3 SEAGATE  ST973401LSUN72G  0556, 68 GB, state 
ONLINE, flags NONE

Device Info
# cd /proc/mpt
# cat version
mptlinux-3.04.02
  Fusion MPT base driver

  Fusion MPT ioctl driver
# cat summary
ioc0: LSISAS1064, FwRev=010a0000h, Ports=1, MaxQ=511, IRQ=177


Guess they do use different metadata?  Or does this not fall under the 
ATAraid umbrella?
