Hi!

The new drive is same type:

ga-k8nf-9-4:~# cat /sys/block/sda/device/model
ST3160812AS
ga-k8nf-9-4:~# cat /sys/block/sdb/device/model
ST3160812AS

I tried again, follow your instuctions: started evmsn, displayed the 
Storage Regions (nr 3) screen, found the md device, bringed up the menu, 
which contains four items:

Go to consuming container
Display details...
Display Object Tree...
Deactivate...

The new drive is empty, no partitions or others. The array contains only 
  two drive. The Available Object (nr 1) list the new drive as available 
object (sda_bbr). I think, this behaviour caused by my configuration, I 
can't created any partition on the disk; I added the Bad Block 
Relocation manager, add mirrored them, then I created the lvm2 container 
on it.

ps

Sorry for my english :)
