right from the documentation:

Usage: check_raid [-h] [-V] [-S] [-O] [list of devices to ignore]

As check_raid can't know, which raid configuration is really used, you
need to blacklist all those devices you don't want to monitor.

Anyways ... as development of check_raid is still very rapid, it may
be a good idea to try the wheezy-backports version anyways, as it
ships many enhancements.

Cheers, Jan.
