Hi Lyuda
This is not a nice situation to bee in, but the god new is that oracle can help
you since you are using version 8.1.6 !
You can use the "ALTER INDEX <index-name> REBUILD TABLESPACE
<new-tablespace_name>;" to move the index to a new tablespace and this can even
be don online with "ALTER INDEX <index-name> REBUILD ONLINE TABLESPACE
<new-tablespace_name>;" BUT then you have to look out for bug 1475310 that
should be fixed in 8.1.7.
