I have a ruby script for this that wraps various commands.
You pipe an error log to it and it finds files:
blocks2file.rb < /var/log/messages
Currently, it looks only for geom errors (with byte offsets) but that can
be easily adjusted.
It helped me find the source of my problems in the past but I haven't
worked on it since.
