That message only means that the region is being flushed before it's closed.
When you say you can't write to it anymore, you mean at the moment of writing or if you let it alone for a few minutes and then come back would you be able to? It's not a behavior that I remember seeing, it might just be your description that's different. In any case, I've never seen disabling a table really doing any good. And which HBase version is that? What kind of cluster? Any special configuration? Anything about "blocking" in the logs?
