You're not reading  the man page or
http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html:

If you need to contact me because of problems with Vinum, please send
me a mail message with the following information:

    What problems are you having? 

    Which version of FreeBSD are you running? 

    Have you made any changes to the system sources, including Vinum? 

    Supply the output of the vinum list command. If you can't start
    Vinum, supply the on-disk configuration, as described below. If
    you can't start Vinum, then (and only then) send a copy of the
    configuration file.

    Supply an extract of the Vinum history file. Unless you have
    explicitly renamed it, it will be /var/log/vinum_history. This
    file can get very big; please limit it to the time around when you
    have the problems. Each line contains a timestamp at the
    beginning, so you will have no difficulty in establishing which
    data is of relevance.

    Supply an extract of the file /var/log/messages. Restrict the
    extract to the same time frame as the history file. Again, each
    line contains a timestamp at the beginning, so you will have no
    difficulty in establishing which data is of relevance.

    If you have a crash, please supply a backtrace from the dump
    analysis as discussed below under Kernel Panics. Please don't
    delete the crash dump; it may be needed for further analysis.

Greg
