Script help with pruning

shell script — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:49:24 GMT

Hello,

I have the following code and I would like to exclude the nfs and mvfs file systems from the find command. Please advise.

case "$OSTYP" in
AIX) find / -name "/proc" -prune -o \
$ -fstype jfs -o -fstype jfs2 $ \
$ -nouser -o -nogroup$
;;

Thanks in advance.

Hi:

Frankly I find the 'prune' option of find() variable among different UNIX flavors and troublesome to specify. Consider something like this:

# find / $ ! -fstype nfs $ -o $ -nouser -o -nogroup $|grep -Ev '/proc|/mvfs'

Regards!

No it does not work. It gives me false files (files having valid UID and GID).

More thoughts??

Hi:

Sorry, I 'or'ed when I should have 'and'ed.

# find / $ ! -fstype nfs $ -a $ -nouser -o -nogroup $|grep -Ev '/proc|/mvfs'

Regards!

Thanks JRF that worked perfectly fine. Lastly, how do I add a word count of the number of files found by the find command. Currently I have
find / $ ! -fstype nfs $ -a $ -nouser -o -nogroup $ -print | xargs ls -ld |grep -Ev '/proc|/mvfs'

Hi (again):

To count the files simply do:

# find / $ ! -fstype nfs $ -a $ -nouser -o -nogroup $ |grep -Ev '/proc|/mvfs'|wc -l

If you want a long-listing of the files, then:

# find / $ ! -fstype nfs $ -a $ -nouser -o -nogroup $ -exec ls -ld {} + | grep -Ev '/proc|/mvfs'

Regards!

Hi,

in addition to JRFs solutiuon; I want to remember the grep-option '-c', which counts matches.
# find / $ ! -fstype nfs $ -a $ -nouser -o -nogroup $ |grep -Evc '/proc|/mvfs'

Actually it is still trying to find the "mvfs" file system. I had tried it earlier on systems without the virtual file system mvfs.

find / $ ! -fstype nfs $ -a $ -nouser -o -nogroup $ -exec ls -ld {} + | grep -Ev '/proc|/mvfs'
is failing. Please help.

"find / $ ! -fstype nfs $ -a $ -nouser -o -nogroup $ -exec ls -ld {} + | grep -Ev '/proc|/mvfs'
is failing. Please help."

describe "failing". also note that the grep command noted should toss anything the that has /proc or /mvs in the name ...

like /a/proc or /b/mvs.......

Hi (again):

> Actually it is still trying to find the "mvfs" file system.

Now you are better off consulting IBM/AIX documentation. As I understand it, 'MVFS' stands for "Multi-Verion-File-System". It appears that these are mounted under the directory name '/view'. Hence all I can offer is to include or exclude this directory as we have discussed previously in this thread.

By the way, you ought to change your Formum name from "shell script" to a more suitable moniker that represents _you_.
