Node - Is it possible that a stream closes or stops writing and how to reopen?

Question

I could not find much information in the documentation. Using fs, is it possible that a stream opened with fs.createWriteStream closes unexpectedly or stops writing to file before calling stream.end()?
One scenario that comes to my mind is an error happens and the OS closes the stream. Is this possible, and in this case would fs reopen the stream automatically?
I think we can use something along the lines of

let stream = fs.createWriteStream('file.log', {flags: 'a'});
stream.on('close', () => {
  stream = fs.createWriteStream('file.log', {flags: 'a'});
});

But I wonder if this approach is prone to memory leaks or other issues. Thanks!
