help in lldb reports:

. . .
  bt        -- Show the current thread's call stack.  Any numeric argument displays at most that many frames.  The argument 'all' displays all threads.  Use 'settings set frame-format' to customize
               the printing of individual frames and 'settings set thread-format' to customize the thread header.
. . .

So typing:

bt all

should attempt to produce a backtrace (of each thread).
(There is both exit and quit to leave lldb.)

I'll note that another option is to run fsck_ffs from
lldb in the first place. The below is running:
"fsck_ffs -n" (which is not really a valid command)

# which fsck_ffs
/sbin/fsck_ffs

# lldb /sbin/fsck_ffs
(lldb) target create "/sbin/fsck_ffs"
Current executable set to '/sbin/fsck_ffs' (aarch64).
(lldb) run -n
Process 8977 launched: '/sbin/fsck_ffs' (aarch64)
usage: fsck_ffs [-BCdEFfnpRrSyZ] [-b block] [-c level] [-m mode] filesystem ...
Process 8977 exited with status = 1 (0x00000001)
(lldb) 

So you would use something else than "-n".

Mine, of course, does not stop for the problem, but once
yours does, you could use the "bt all" command.
