That's what I normally do.
No need to list the individual filesystems in your exclude file: just "/*"
is sufficient. That also means you don't have to worry about new
filesystems being created.
What I do is a savevg to a small filesystem in my rootvg before I do my
mksysb. (An empty savevg takes 51200 bytes.)
