.. 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?
All those errors indicate file system corruption. To protect other data
from getting corrupted (e.g. by invalid pointers or calculations), the
kernel panics.
...and (hopefully) reboots, determines that there were filesystem
errors, and attempts to correct them with fsck(8)
Why isn't it possible to do the same without a reboot?
