Hello I think this problem is not related to gnome-vfs or gvfs or anything of gnome.
The issue here might be related with hal and lvm. Dmraid volumes are not known to hal or lvm so they freak out when they scan your hard disks. In case of raid 1 (mirrors) it makes sense to apear in duplicate, same thing happens to me with Debian Lenny, you basicly have 2 hard disks with the very same layout / partitions, see the pattern here? With raid0 those volume don't even show up but the boot process complains a lot about "seek past the end of the drive" and stuff.

Until hal and lvm start looking at the "dmraid metadata" we have to make them ignore those hard disks part of the dmraid volume, see this:

Haven't tested it yet, just looking around and all this occurred to me.

Unless someone has a better idea where to fix this, good luck to us all ;)
