The problem is that dmraid needs to claim the entire disk, and disallow
all other access to it.  In the case of a raid1, you potentially will
see 3 volumes with the same data: the two underlying mirrors and the
mirror dm device.  Any access to the underlying disks will be a problem.
In the case of a raid0, often the kernel will see the partition table
and create the devices for each partition, but they are not valid and
must not be accessed.

Bear in mind that dmraid rules activate on the raw disk device, not the
partitions.  Something then needs to be done to prevent udev from doing
anything at all with the partition devices on the disk that dmraid has
claimed.
