I'd be glad if someone steps in and says I'm wrong, but AFAIK vinum is 
not supported anymore on new releases.
At least in my experience it stopped working when I upgraded from 5.2.1 
to 5.3, producing continuous crashes until I switched to gmirror.
You might want to look at gvinum, but last I checked it wasn't quite 
finished.

P.S. Please, let me know if you manage to make it.
