This is a bad idea on many levels.
1. This is the wrong list for such requests and you're lucky to get any reply.
2. You were searching for 40 hours. You should optimize the search,
and narrow it down. Do this instead:
find <list-of-directories> -type f | xargs grep -sl "access denied"
where <list-of-directories> excludes /sys, /proc, /dev and other
directories that it might not make sense to search.
Good luck! :)
