hey guys,
I’m dealing with a frustrating issue.
1) I’m running a full Bitcoin Core node and I keep seeing "leveldb read failure corruption block checksum mismatch" and "Error reading from database" which causes the node to shut down.
2) Initially, I tried running this command: ./bitcoin-qt reindex-chainstate and it completed successfully for the full node. But then I still encountered the same "leveldb read failure corruption block checksum mismatch" and the database reading error leading to the shutdown. I attempted the command again but it didn’t work this time, still getting the "Error reading from database" shutdown issue.
3) What should I do? Should I format the SSD and restart the full node? Or is there a hardware issue possibly with the SATA?
leveldb read failure due to block checksum mismatch

I suggest to post your full system specs, and check your disk's SMART status.
It could be anything. From hardware alone, it could be either RAM, SSD, SATA cable, SATA port or even CPU. I would recommend to stop trying sync Bitcoin Core, backup wallet.dat (if you created one) and start check each hardware part one by one.
I also suggest OP to share content of debug.log created by Bitcoin Core. It may be too long to be posted here, so consider upload to website such as https://pastebin.com/ and then share the link here.
