We are having the same issue at the moment, so I am looking for a reply as well. One suggestion was to use lfs find, though initially we haven't seen that to be faster.

Is there any smarter way to find out than to do a "du -hs <dirname>" and wait for 30min for the 12TB-answer ? I've already told them to substitute "ls -l" by "find -type f -exec ls -l {};", although I'm not too sure about that either.
