Well, you can. Failing to complete will leave the map marked and we could fault the device offline too. That will stop any more memory being wasted because nothing will go to it! We could then make periodic attempts to bring it online again using the "hotrepair" trick and it'll resync itself in the background. Just an idea. Maybe not a good one, but an idea.
