How can I run a find command that will search all the local file
systems without traversing to mounted file systems? I am trying to
find all files that are orphans on the machine e.g., -nouser and
-nogroup options. I need to search the entire machine.

I tried the -local option and it still traverses to mounted file
systems.

I tried -mount -local and it only searches the local file system
without descending any subdirectories.

I will check all systems in my system independently so any nfs mount
points will be checked when I search that system.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

find / ! -local -prune -o -print

At least as of Solaris 10 this is an example in the manpage.

Still no joy.

I tried:

find / ! -local -nouser -nogroup -prune -o -print

And it still searched through NFS mapped drives.

Any other recommendations?

You put the "-prune" in the wrong place (and I think the
"-o" if you want to print out files with no user or no
group), you want:

find / ! -local -prune -nouser -o -nogroup -print
