one needs to run fshalt before halting a machine running venti or fossil.
venti is much more likely to have trouble than fossil, but i believe the new
version of venti does a better job with unexpected outages.

if you're running on an unstable platform, you might consider running
venti on a stable machine or not running venti at all.  ken's fs has been
more resistant to unplanned outages than venti for me.  (i have no ups.)
