It's difficult to say from that information. The man page gives a number of hints about solving Vinum problems. So does http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html. In this case it would be interesting to see what was in the log files. On the face of it, it looks as if a disk drive has died. If not, there are tricks you can use to recover them. They're tricks because they bypass consistency checking: part of your volume has died, and there's no way to make it completely consistent again.
