You're confusing dm and md. This is md -- the Multiple Devices
driver, also known as the RAID subsystem. It creates devices called
/dev/md*. The Device Mapper (dm) is used as the basis of LVM, and puts
its device nodes in /dev/mapper/.

It's true that you can put DM devices on top of MD devices (and the
other way around), but there's no hint of that here yet.
