I don't know why there is a md superblock at the end of sdb1 and sdc1,
maybe you used to mirror or stripe them before, then forgot to remove
the superblock when you quit md.
anyway you can use mdadm to examine and remove the superblock from sdb1
and sdc1.
In alternative you can disable md_component_detection in
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf (if you will never use lvm over md anymore, that is)
