Well, the CAM layer problem will immediately first - it does not like
CAM busses disappearing. Once this is fixed or avoided and the problem
still shows up, we can blame buffer cache / filesystem code.

As I suggested before, a good fix is to create one CAM bus per USB root
hub, and use that to attach all umass devices to. This will also get rid
of the one-bus-per-umass-device which is visually unappealling.
