PFSense Crashing

Avngl

Hey Guys, I am a new user and have been running PFSense for about a week, and it has been great. Trying to learn all ways to optimise the setup. Currently PFSense is running on a Thinkpad T440s laptop (1), connected to a TP-Link switch (tl-sg105e) and an Asus RT-AX6U router serving as an AP. I have a spare T440s (2) that was kept in storage. As that T440s (2) screen is working, I thought i would switch the laptops so it would be easier to look at the interface whenever I am disconnected to troubleshoot. So I shut off the main T440s(1), took out the SSD, and put the SSD in the other T440s (2). Everything was running fine and a few hours later, I lost connection and PFSense told me that it crashed. Today, a day later, it crashed again. If I remember correctly, both crashes around the same time. It was rock solid stable the whole day.

I don't have a lot of plugins running , apart from wireguard.

This is the crash log. Could you help me figure out whats wrong:

As I can't paste the log here due to the character limit, I've posted it in the link below:

It's a filesystem error. You are running UFS so the first thing I would do is force a fsck:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/filesystem-check.html?highlight=fsck#manual-filesystem-check

But that bad block error could well be a failing drive. Check the SMART data from it.

@stephenw10 Thank you. I'll do a force fsck and see if it resolves the issue. Otherwise, will replace the drive.
