It is also worth noting that your find may not find nested ext4 mounts.
Supposing an ext4 mount point is mounted inside an ext3 mount? Your
prune will prevent find from descending deep enough to find it.
Alterative approach:
mount \
| awk '$5 == "ext3" {print $3}' \
| while read -r fstop
do find "$fstop" -xdev -print
done
Change ext3 to ext4 (I was testing on an ext3 only system).
