Who knows?  I'd guess you have done something wrong.  Often people who
report things like that haven't read the man page (otherwise they'd
supply the information needed to solve the problem) and have put the
drives on the c partition.

It's also extremely frustrating to get problem reports without any
supporting evidence.  Take a look at the man page or
http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html and supply some
information.
