Plus, many people want to keep their BFS partitions. I am one of them. :-)

I don't really follow what you are saying. I think you mean that if you have
file foo,
with an unindexed attribute bar, then you create an index on bar's, that you
have to make a new
copy of foo (foo2) so that it shows up indexed. Is that correct?
