Not that I'm aware of...you can rebuild with `makehistory` though (and 
your tradindexed overview won't be affected, so you don't need the -O 
flag to makehistory, so it should run much more quickly).  Your server 
will need to be down during the interval it takes to rebuild, though.  
Also, if you're going to trash your CNFS buffers in the conversion, and 
they're large, you could consider commenting them out of your 
storage.conf so that makehistory doesn't crawl over them.
