This doesn't help.  See

The messages above are (for once) quite clear.  You have a plex down
on your drive local.  'vinum list' will show that.  You need to fix
it.  That's done with the 'vinum start' command, after you fix the
problem, which may be a simple matter, or it may indicate a defective
disk.
