This node has >230M objects (both offsite and onsite) and total occupancy
of 12TB.  It got to ~80M when I had to kill it.  Sure wish I knew if it was
going to start all over again or pick-up where it left off?  I have more
maintenance on this TSM server scheduled for Tuesday and if it starts all
over again, it clearly won't finish by then.
