filefrag: Display mapping of extended attributes.
$ filefrag -x ${filenames}

The filefrag
command is used to report on file fragmentation on a filesystem. The -x
option is used to show extended information about each file fragment.
${filenames}
is a placeholder for one or more filenames that you would provide when running the command. You need to replace ${filenames}
with the actual filenames or file paths you want to analyze.
By running this command, you will get a detailed report on the fragmentation of the specified files. The information will include the file name, the number of extents (a contiguous area of storage), the logical file offset of each extent, the physical file block location on the disk, and other details related to fragmentation.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
