Is it possible to get a list of the sectors read for each file, instead
of only the file name?
I posted a program the other day that does this for the first sector;
the bmap program from
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz
lists all sectors in use (but in a more complex format)
