SATA RAID 1 "Mirror"Gnome reads combined size


I have 2 SATA 74GB Raptor Hard Drives (no others), configured in Raid 1 (Mirror) with an Asus A8v Deluxe Motherboard, on the Promise PDC20378 Raid Controller.

Why does Gnome show the Filesystem as being 148GB under the Computer icon "there is only one filesystem drive listed"

When the computer POSTs, the Raid Controller displays 1x2 Mirror 74GB Functional

When the Kernel boots it reads,

Should I be loading a scsi driver before installing or using the Via controller?

Is "/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00" the two drives combined?
Does /dev/mapper/ mimic scsi here?

Thanks for your explanation and insight.
