Thank you for your response, but one more question, does this logical
block 0 hold the header of the file, if not where is located the header
of a file in a ext3 filesystem.
The reason why I need to know that is because I wish to use swsusp on my
swap-file so I really need to know the location of the file's swap header.
Thank you for helping.
Sincerely,
William Tambe

I need to understand and to calculate the offset of the beginning of a

Can I use dumpe2fs to figure that out, if yes how?
(Sorry for the duplicate William, forgot to reply to the list)
Not sure about dumpe2fs but you can use debugfs to do so. For example:
/sbin/debugfs <fs> -R "bmap /path/to/file 0"
Will give you the first physical block corresponding to logical block
0 of the file.
Cheers,
Duane.
