you said "hybrid HDD"

is this possibly about write-back vs write-through cache integrity and
some confusion in a driver over what is committed back in disk, and
what is not?

this feels like a very nasty corner case. Could you be explicit about
versions and vendors?

I am asking for selfish reasons: I have a lot of dependencies in a
large SSD backed ZFS postgres server on Dell, and I am about to commit
to a lenovo X1 Carbon 7/8th gen which would be SSD and almost
certainly was intended to be ZFS-SSD in FreeBSD.
