1. Look at the path to be unmounted,if it starts with "/dev/mapper/"
then it could an mdraid path or a cryptsetup mapper path or
something else.Its easy to check which one is it.

Nope.

You have /dev/VG/LV or /dev/mpath/NAME (aka friendly mpath names) etc.
These are symlinks, or on non-udev system directly device nodes.

If you want to check for dm device, you should check for major
number of device. Ditto for MD (note md can be some fake
raid as well as replacement for dmraid.)

 
checking for major:minor number does not work on devices with btrfs[1]

What i do in my project to identify lvm path is to check if the path exists in both "/dev/abc/def" and "/dev/mapper/abd-def".formats.

mdraid paths are usually in "/dev/mdX" or "/dev/md/X" format.
