I am using the libext2 which basically might do that - i am unshure.
I am currently using
retval=ext2fs_block_iterate(fs, inode, 0, 0, delo_dump_block, 0);
Which basically loads in all the blocks by calling "delo_dump_block"
for each block with the block on the device to load and the block number
this is in the file.
