Different controllers put their metadata in different places; dmraid knows how to deal with most of them. To remove the metadata, use dmraid -x (may be destructive to data depending upon controller!) or zero the whole drive, expecially the whole first cylinder-equivalent (since all drives are zoned these days, it's emulated cylinder 0) and the last cylinder-equivalent. Lots of controllers use the last one or two blocks on the disk for the metadata.
