This unlikely to be a disk issue.

We have seen this stacktrace before, but not in the context of upgrading
and always in the presence of some other error that turned out to be the
root cause. The cases that we were testing also involved lots of
starting and stopping of nodes. That might be a prerequisite.

If you are able to reproduce the error then a database backup might be
helpful. Even if you can provide more of the log entries from your
previous message to show how & when nodes are started in relation to
each other.
