Then you might not need to worry about reconstruction so much. Rebooting the 'clean' way (CTRL-ALT-DEL or 'shutdown -r now') is no problem - it doesn't require reconstruction. It's 'cold' (or hardware) resets (such as power outages, silly users, etc.) that cause that - I don't think there is much you can do about that.
