How can I do the equivalent of a Unix find / -print [under user permissions] under Mountain Lion? I am doing, or trying to do, a 'find /' which I would like to recursively list every file the user has permission to access under the volume "Macintosh HD" and nothing else.

I am presently filtering out the output of the find to exclude files under Backups.backupdb. This is a partial solution at best because the system is bogging under attempts to access flaky NSF mounts.

Is there a shell command that I can use that will stay on "Macintosh HD", recursively list file paths, and leave other volumes alone?
find can do this itself as per Apple's man page. You ned the -x option to 


  Prevent find from descending into directories that have a device number different than that of
               the file from which the descent began.
