--- Comment #2 from Aleksandr Fedorov <afedorov@FreeBSD.org> ---
This is because md(4) + memory backend doesn't support the DIOCGFLUSH ioctl
(BIO_FLUSH command):
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/sys/dev/md/md.c#L650

pci_ahci.c:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/usr.sbin/bhyve/pci_ahci.c#=
L783

So I see two ways to solve this issue.

First, fix bhyve with patch like this:

Second, add a NOP support of the BIO_FLUSH cmd to md(4) (mdstart_malloc()).
