I think the number is actually 1.7 million, but here we go. Environment is a clustered GFS2 volume (RHEL 6.1) with 1.7 Million PDFs (~3MB a piece, I think, but don't quote me since that doesn't seem ...
So we've moved into a 2016 Hyper-V cluster. Several nodes with non-clustered storage. We used to use VMM, but when we moved to this platform, we did not include it. So that's not part of the solution.
