Hello. Please forgive me for probably a very stupid question. But why is FreeBSD so sensitive to filesystem errors that it ends up with panics like 'freeing free block' or 'ffs_valloc: dup alloc'? I just can't get it. Failed to allocate vnode? Go allocate another one! Freeing free block? Leave it free then! I understand these situations should never happen, but the hell why is it required to panic and kill everything that would be working happily even if something very disasterous happen to /backup partition, in example? Would be very appreciated if someone could explain that... thanks.
