BUILD.INDEX has to be able to get exclusive access to the primary file to start.
It then blocks updates to the primary file (reads allowed) until it is finished.
This is the long-time default behavior.

Of course, you can use BUILD.INDEX ... ONLINE to avoid that requirement.
This is a bit slower, but you can do it.

Yes, LIST.INDEX properly displayed all the indices including
