so is the new Data.fs.index regenerated when Zope is restarted?

ps - i've migrated Data.fs successfully and repeatedly between a netbsd 2.0
install a linux server with no issues. (and i didn't copy the .index file,
only the Data.fs)

You can even move it across operating systems (the FileStorage format
is platform-independent).

You take a small risk if you try to copy a Data.fs *while* it's in
active use, because it's in a temporarily non-sane state during the
time a transaction is being committed.  More here:
