i see those on one of my old drives, but i don't think it's the drive. i thought it might have been caused by a power failure catching out fossil or venti, but if you've got the same problem, perhaps not. worse, reading the source it looked to me as though archives might then be incomplete, because the error stops the walk, but i haven't yet tried initialising a new fossil (perhaps a separate, temporary one) from the venti to find out.
