Good point -- while the OS doesn't have a shutdown procedure, some application and
utilities don't want to be interrupted in the middle of specific operations, and
"disk squeeze" is one example of that.
The RT11 file system has the nice property that it doesn't mind being interrupted at
any time; there is no such thing as a file system cleanup ("fsck" or the like)
and inherently no need for one.
