      If a disk failure occurs in such a way as to block IO without returning (admittedly a rare occurrence), the affected mongod will never give up waiting for the IO to complete. Heartbeats are returned as normal, so other nodes will continue to trust it despite being permanently dysfunctional.

      A replica-set or a sharded cluster can eventually be locked up until the single faulty node is identified and terminated.
