To me it sounds likely that the raid controller is shitty and
is presenting two sets of devices to the OS, one likely being
the "RAID" device and the other a more generic device(s).

What does 'dmesg' say? Do you see more devices than you think
you should have on the system?

As long as LVM is using the "right" one, I think there shouldn't
be a problem. As another poster mentioned show your LVM configuration,
you may want to add a filter into /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to make sure it
uses the right one.

I've only seen this condition myself when:

1) Using multipathing software and multiple links to the same storage
   (in which case I adjust lvm.conf to account for this)
2) snapshot a volume on an array and export it to the same host that
   had the master(in which case I decided that wasn't the best way to
   accomplish what I wanted).
