problems with the hard drive in the pfsense
-
The hard drive is broken. You need to save the config, put a new hard drive in the box, load pfsense, and restore the config.
-
It looks to me it's a hardware problem that has nothing to do with pfSense. You mention a blackout, I assume that means power failure. If so, you have hardware that was damaged by power spikes. All you can do is replace the failed hardware.

Assuming he can read that file. Hopefully he's made a backup.

@sandy is what I'm going to do but I wanted to know if there was another way to not have to install again and for services, thanks brother
-
@JKnott if I apologize for using that term of shutdown is that my nation is called this way to the electrical failures, but if it is a disk because the error I / O read error 5 is hard disk reading problems

It's broken hardware, there is no way you are not going to have to do a fresh install. This is not a big deal if you have a backup to restore from.

"pfSense", that you installed from an ISO or USB drive on a drive (hard disk, SSD, whatever) needs a not-broken disk.
You can't neither install Windows on it. Nor Debian, Mac OS (Apple) won't work - their is nothing you can do with this drive.
This drive became a good paper-weight, or something like that. Or , if you have enough of them :

These days, a drive cost as much as 5 Big MAC's so nobody cares anymore.
Also : when drives start to loss sectors, more sectors will die soon.Also : installing pfSense on a new drive : a couple of minutes or so - so why wait ??
pfSense has SMART capabilities included. Now you know why ^^

It will also copy over corrupt data. Best to do a fresh install and use the config backup.

@JKnott ok
