It looks like a huge volume, so it makes sense that it would take some time
to complete.

Are quotas enabled on the volume? That might give you a quick snapshot of
who the biggest user is.

You could try running the du in a subdirectory, which might give you some
more ideas about big directories. (You can try: du -k | sort -rn).

I'm not a root, so I can't help in the problem analysis except by writing
here. :)
