Given that you've only got 100,000 files in the directory, and it has
inspected 3,000,000 files, I'd guess something is wrong.

I've seen Unix systems that have inadvertently gotten circular link
definitions, and TSM will blindly follow them over & over again, showing
this type of behaviour.

You might want to set archsymlinkasfile=no on the client and try it again
(but read the client manual for this first, to make sure that this does
what you want it to do).
