Indeed, there is no way for dmraid to tell whether you have disabled the raid support in the bios or not. It does not even know or care that your bios HAS that support; you can plug the disks into a different computer without the fake raid and dmraid will recognize them just fine. If your intention is to stop using the disks as part of a fake raid set, then you should use the bios utility ( or dmraid -E ) to remove them from the set and erase the metadata.
