I am 90% sore that venti doesn not have a persistant cache of
blocks waiting to be written, so if you boot venti alone it will
not write anything. What you are seeing as a "sync" is probably
a snap -a from fossil into your venti.
you should be able to start venti and then use vacfs to explore
your venti (run from from the live CD if you like). if you are happy
restoring this then you can reformat your fossil from this venti
and end up with a working system.
