Based on the Buffer I/O error, this could indicate a failing drive; see <https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/omic2r/buffer_io_on_dev_sdb_logical_block_0_async_page/>. `smartctl -x /dev/sdb` may give you more information. If the sectors were reallocated, like in <https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=149547>, then it would be less of a concern. But yours seems to be a hard problem.
