The i_pos means directory entry (contains inode information in unix-fs)
position,
block number == i_pos / (logical-blocksize / 32)
offset == i_pos & (logical-blocksize / 32)
the above position's directory entry contains information for
problematic file. This is how to use i_pos information.
FWIW, in this error case, the cluster chain in FAT table which is
pointed by that entry, it has invalid cluster value.
Thanks.
