There's always the brute-force way; for each ordinary file, try to cat
it to /dev/null, and log the name of the file if that fails.

Alternatively, since you have an on-disk offset, you might be able to
use `debugfs -R "stat <filename>"` or `hdparm --fibmap <filename>` or
`filefrag -e <filename>` for each file visible to figure out which
file name(s) map to that location on disk.

I couldn't immediately find a convenient way to go from an on-disk
offset to a file name directly.
