As far as I know the Intel Matrix RAID stuff is only a BIOS layer for
booting. All of the RAID after the machine boots is done by the
operating system.

Now, last time I played around with this, Fedora automatically brought
up LVM configured to match the Intel RAID settings. There might be a LVM
device configured for your system.
