This Venti score is wrong. This is the Venti score returned by an empty
Fossil file system. That's why it cannot be found in Venti.

The type VtDataType was returned instead of VtDirType and the tag
BadTag was returned instead of RootTag. Obviously, something got wrong.

It looks like your virtual hard disk image was corrupted
because of the the power outage. Especially since you used
the dynamically-growing qcow2 image format.

You should make another hard disk image and rebuild
Fossil from your last Venti score.

Since this score cannot be found in your Fossil super block, you
should extract a list of your Vac scores from your Venti server
with the script /sys/src/cmd/venti/words/dumpvacroots.
