sysctl kern.sync_on_panic=1 Disabled by default because it's usually more trouble than it's worth (if your system is panicking, that means something has gone terribly wrong, and it may not be possible to sync without causing further damage). In real terms, this means that you'll likely get another panic when the kernel tries to sync when it panics, and this can obscure things like stack tracebacks and panic messages that are useful for tracking down the cause of the problem.
