geom using 100% cpu with failed da5. How to calm it down without cam passdev?

 Hello,

I've a failed disk at a remote server, which shouldn't be a problem
actually.
Just for info, here's the last shout:
    kernel: (da5:mps0:0:5:0): SYNCHRONIZE CACHE(10). CDB: 35 0 0 0 0 0 0

    kernel: (da5:mps0:0:5:0): oustanding 0

After reboot, 'camcontrol devlist' doesn't show any da5,
but 'geom disk list' _does_ show da5!!!

My problem is that geom is now consuming 100% of one core!
top -S:
13 root        3  -8    -     0K    48K -       1 480:19 100.00% geom

Since there's no /dev/da5 I can't use camcontrol to stop anything, and
at the moment nobody can physically remove the failed drive.
How can I calm geom down?
How can I find out what "geom" is doing/trying to do?
I guess it's related to the failed da5, but how can I know?

Thanks,

-Harry
