I will include some more general aspects in my reply:

You have line-oriented output, yes? "wc -l" counts lines ...

I want to make sure I'm only looking at local filesystems only.
You chose a way of iteratively selecting all the local ones: fstype=jfs, fstype=jfs2, ... . This is possible but such problems can be solved from both sides, though: either by including everything you need or by excluding everything you do not need. "All local filesystems" is the same as "all non-remote filesystems", yes?:

find ....... ! -fstype nfs

Means "all filesystems except nfs", which should be what you want. This would include not only jfs and jfs2 but also some more obscure FS types, which also exist.

Quote:
Also how can I suppress the messages like "ls: 0653-341 The file xxx does not exist." or "find: 0652-019 The status on xxx is not valid.
This comes because you issue "find" under your user id and your user is probably not allowed to access everything. This would probably be different if you issue the command as root user. Anyways, the error messages go to a separate I/O channel in UNIX (to <stderr>), which only per default points to the same output device as <stdout>. You can safely redirect the error messages (and only them) with putting your valuable output in jeopardy:

find ..... 2> /dev/null

redirects the outcome of the <stderr> file descriptor to /dev/null, the big bit bucket instead of /dev/yourpseudoterminal, where it clutters your screen.

I hope this helps and, btw.: we have a great and very active AIX special interest group here in the forum, which i by now would like to shamelessly advertise. I am looking forward to see you there.

xchklog(8)						JFS utility - extract fsck.jfs log						xchklog(8)

NAME
xchklog - extract a log from the JFS fsck workspace into a file SYNOPSIS
xchklog [ -f output.file ] [ -p ] [ -V ] device DESCRIPTION
xchklog extracts the contents of either the most recent or immediately prior JFS fsck service log from the specified device, and writes the output into a specified or default file. (The default file name is <pwd>fscklog.new. If the -p option is used, the default file name is <pwd>fscklog.old.) The contents of the output file can be formatted into text by using the JFS utility xchkdmp. device is the special file name corresponding to the actual device from which the fsck log will be extracted (e.g. /dev/hdb1 ). OPTIONS
-f output.file Specify the output file name, overriding the default file name. output.file must be 127 characters or less in length. output.file will be created in the present working directory unless it is fully qualified. -p Extract the prior log (as opposed to the most recent log). -V Print version information and exit (regardless of any other chosen options). EXAMPLES
Extract the most recent log on /dev/hda5 into <pwd>fscklog.new: xchklog /dev/hda5 Extract the most recent log on /dev/hdb3 into /temp/l9651107.log: xchklog -f /temp/l9651107.log /dev/hdb3 Extract the prior log on /dev/hdb4 into <pwd>fscklog.old: xchklog -p /dev/hdb4 REPORTING BUGS
If you find a bug in JFS or xchklog, please report it via the bug tracking system ("Report Bugs" section) of the JFS project web site: http://oss.software.ibm.com/jfs Please send as much pertinent information as possible, including any xchklog error messages and the complete output of running fsck.jfs with the -v option on the JFS device.
