Finding hidden files under mounted filesystems

I have never heard of this before but someone at work here says there is a command to find files that are under currently mounted filesystems. Does anyone know what this command is and is it available on HP-UX?

To see files any under, say, /opt, you can export the root filesystem to the box itself and then nfs mount as /rawroot or something. Then look at /rawroot/opt

That's very interesting. I'll have to give that a try.

This person here still insists that there is a single command to do it but I'm not believing her.

There is fsdb but it's hard and dangerous.
