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.
