Summary: How to list all files in a file system

In system V 2.0 (at least) there is a utility "ff" for Fast Find.  It
resides in /etc usually, and is documented under "ff(1M)".   It has
fewer options than regular find, but it works by running through the
inode list of a file system.  This makes it faster; it also finds
all files in a file system (regular find will miss any files hidden
under a mount point).  I use ff regularly for producing backup dumps.
