[linux-lvm] Where are the data blocks of an LV?

[Stuart D Gathman]

It was written to identify the file affected by a bad block (so it goes
the opposite direction), but the getpvmap() function obtains pe_start and 
pe_size plus the list of segments.  findlv() goes through the segments to
find the one an absolute sector is in.  That should tell you what you want 
to know.
