There's your problem - that's an average of 55 million inodes per AGI btree assuming you are using inode64. If you are using inode32, then the inodes will be in 2 btrees, or maybe even only one. Anyway you look at it, searching btrees with tens of millions of entries is going to consume a *lot* of CPU time. So, really, the state your fs is in is probably unfixable without mkfs. And really, that's probably pushing the boundaries of what xfsdump and xfs-restore can support - it's going to take a long tiem to dump and restore that data.... With that many inodes, I'd be considering moving to 32 or 64 AGs to keep the btree size down to a more manageable size. The free inode btree would also help, but, really, 220M inodes in a 2TB filesystem is really pushing the boundaries of sanity.....
