      re installation will surely stop the problem but i guess it wont be fixed.

      =transferred the same ssd to an identical hardware and the same rebooting issue was duplicated
      =pls see attached capture, i wanna see the root cause as we want to prevent the same error happening again

        I would bet on these two :

        ufs_makeinode() at ufs_makeinode+0xa3/frame 0xfffffe0235e86580
        ufs_create() at ufs_create+0x34/frame 0xfffffe0235e865a0
        

        which means to me : troubles making a file ...

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

            That info isn't included in the dump.

            It could be a file on a ram disk, or more common : a file on your 'hard' disk.
            It could be as simple as : no more space or more usual : file system hosed (repair with fsck on boot) up until disk-starts-to-die.

                Yeah that looks like a filesystem issue. You should be able to recover that by manually running fsck -y / a few times (at least 3) from single user mode.

                    Easy !

                    1 ) if needed, shut down system properly. No power line ripping.
                    2) use an UPS and set it up so rule 1 applies when power goes away.

                    edit : Your SSD isn't probably physically damaged, only logically.
                    Never heard or saw of 'chkdsk' before ?
                    Some command line commands are needed to put things in place again, as @stephenw10 mentioned.

                      Yeah I doubt there is a problem with your SSD. The real question is what was causing the filesystem issue. It's almost always because the system lost power during writing the drive.

                        if its not a power issue, would there be a chance of a hardware issue?

                          How, according to you, could we know if something is wrong with your hardware ?

                          Bad sata cables, bad power supplies, all is possible.

                            Yes, it could be something else causing the drive write to fail mid-write. Bad SSD. Bad internal power. Bad cable.
                            I have seen bad SATA cables do some truly weird stuff, I would swap that out first if you have not already.
