That sounds like an indicator of a bigger problem. On an unraided 330GB drive, du takes a fraction of that to complete. (I would have to run a test to get actual times.) Sounds like there is something else going on.
That would depend on the amount of physical files on the drive. You can have 100 massive files and du will run nice and fast, or you can have 1,000,000 tiny files and folders and du will take its dear sweet time to run.


this is exactly my problem I believe. I have a 4TB RAID SAN and the problem directory holds well over a million small files. Even a directory under that directory, du takes almost 40 minutes to total up 74GB.
