Aide is typically IO bound on modern systems. Such long run times
indicate severe disk performance issues. Where is your data store? A NAS
or SAN? You can monitor your IO using vmstat or iotop. Are there other
processes doing a lot of IO on this system?

On my system I scan about 20GB of data in 104388 files and aide always
finishes in a few hours. The data is on a SAN.

Kind regards,

Richard
