I am testing a mirror target for dmsetup. After creating the dm device I cannot the underlying block device.

I have mounted the newly created dm device and copied some data to it.
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# mount /dev/mapper/raid1 /mnt/ ; mount | grep raid1
/dev/mapper/raid1 on /mnt type ext3 (rw)
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# cp /var/log/messages /mnt/
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# ls -l /mnt/
total 51
drwx------. 2 root root 12288 Nov 2 22:32 lost+found
-rw-------. 1 root root 37417 Nov 2 22:38 messages
I have now unmounted the dm device to test if the daya is written to the underlying block device.
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# umount /mnt/
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# dmsetup info raid1
Name: raid1
State: ACTIVE
Read Ahead: 256
Tables present: LIVE
Open count: 0
Event number: 1
Major, minor: 253, 6
Number of targets: 1
Here the open count is "ZERO", but still I cannot mount the underlying block device.
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/
mount: /dev/loop0 already mounted or /mnt/ busy
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# mount /dev/loop1 /mnt/
mount: /dev/loop1 already mounted or /mnt/ busy
But if I remove the dm device created and try to mount the underlying block-device, I can mount both the device which took part in mirroring and I can access the data in both the disk.
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# dmsetup remove raid1
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# ls -l /mnt/
total 51
drwx------. 2 root root 12288 Nov 2 22:32 lost+found
-rw-------. 1 root root 37417 Nov 2 22:38 messages
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# umount /mnt/
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# mount /dev/loop1 /mnt/
[root@bladelinux01 ~]# ls -l /mnt/
total 51
drwx------. 2 root root 12288 Nov 2 22:32 lost+found
-rw-------. 1 root root 37417 Nov 2 22:38 messages
Why is this behavior. any explanation, please....
