kern.sync_on_panic

Does anybody actually use kern.sync_on_panic tunable/sysctl? If yes, then in what circumstances do you need it? That is, why any other alternative doesn't work for you? Like: 1. remounting filesystems R/O before panic if you knowingly provoke it for testing 2. using netboot for your test system 3
