Hi,
Dont know what would be a better solution on a TB filesystem.. but few
pointers that you may consider.
1. Get the filesystem listing dumped using # find / -type f -perm -x
-size -xxxxxc -ls > fslist.txt (this should be very quick and fast)
2. Parse the file so that you have only the file pathname
3. Then you may consider something like
# for var in `cat fslist.txt`
do
grep -l -f patterns.txt $var >> patternfound.txt
done
