Well I just have to poke a bit at everything I encouter.  I used debugfs
to deal with a corrupted filesystem once, and found that it was a great
tool for anything you needed to know the exact location of something.
So a case like yours for example.  After all finding block to file
mappings seems like the kind of thing a filesystem debug tool should be
able to do.
