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.
