No, there is no fix for this. FreeBSD doesn't handle this case very
well. What I would suggest doing is keeping the logical representation
of the device around, but indicate that it has failed. Then complete
all i/o with good status. This is something that is being worked on,
but I have no information on when it might be fixed.
