A panic is not a bad thing, and also does not imply that the machine will not reboot successfully. It certainly doesn't guarantee your OS will be trashed.

UFS has a mount option "onerror" which defines what the OS will do if there is a problem detected with a given filesystem. I think the default is "panic" anyway. Check mount_ufs manpage for details. Your answer is to take regular backups, rather than bury your head in the sand. cheers, --justin
