Also note that FIEMAP still doesn't report devices, so you're still playing with fire on multi-device reflink-aware filesystems like XFS.A hash would be fine for me. But really a nicer interface would translate logical ranges in a file to some range identifier, where:
All this sounds really complicated and probably not doable. But you haven't answered the basic question, which is if your use cases already has candidates and you just want to confirm them, or if you are iterating all file logical to physical mappings in the file systems? Can you explain your highlevel use case a bit?
