Yeah, I really think it's the large number of files. I'm working to see
how much of them we can clean up right now. I was wondering if xfs_fsr
would be a good idea, but ISTR it not being all that highly recommended.
You might be able to make 1 2 3 4 5 ... directories or based on the first
letter. the is also very often at providers with a _lot_ of usernames.
This will greatly reduce the amount of files in one directory and thus make
doing dumps a lot easier and faster. XFS was was ment to be scalable but
413 million files (if I read correctly) is stretching it.

Again, mkfs is a hard sell right now.
My brain is failing right now, but I think you might be able to xfs_growfs.
Search the archive for it.
