It can be proven that the size of index will be greater than the data. How can a file system store data with much larger than it need?

Pifs frees up the traditional storage allocations needed for the data and allows you to dedicate those resources towards the metadata & index of your pifs.

Have you considered storing the index in πfs?

This is the reverse index, pretty relavant in the Big Data area.
