The /dev/evms is puzzle for me too. 
I don't use it so my knowledge is only from here:
  http://evms.sourceforge.net/
and I really don't want to learn much about it for single or double disk 
computers that I use at the moment. 

To wipe off the disk what has to be used:
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/evms/sdb bs=512 count=1
that will take care of MBR or 
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/evms/sdb bs=1M
that will take care of whole disk.
