Can a linux/systemd nerd explain what the error is? I know it's a shutdown sequence, but I'm curious on the fault
These kinds of public errors are almost always a hard drive failure.
Using an actual hard drive for an embedded system like this would be a failure in and of itself.
Unless it literally has to store several hours' worth of HD video content, no reason the entire system couldn't fit on an SD card.
As someone who works on embedded devices: HDDs are used for media storage and can be easily replaced. Any NAND as a limited life span and good embedded software will try very hard to minimise writes. Though in my particular area, there's additional security constraints on the OS, which preclude any removable flash storage from being used.
