The problem with dmraids is more then just the device name.
Our ioctl(HDIO_GETGEO) based method to map Linux devices with the GRUB
ones just doestn't work with non real disk devices.
I made half a year ago a first patch which used blkid to get the UUID of
the filesystem but that was rejected by upstream.
Haven't looked since then much into it.
For me personally this isn't that important. Linux isn't on my dmraid.
