Do you mean the number 3001?
I am sorry for my ignorance, but it is not clear to me from fsdb manpage 
what "blocks" means FS block and what disk block.

And how can I use (calculate with) this numbers?

How can I get the right number to pass to findlbk command (in the 
example above) to give me back the inode 3?

If FS block is 16384 bytes, then it means 16384/512 = 32 disk blocks per 
FS block.

If 3001 is FS block, then it means 3001*32 = 96032 disk block number. Am 
I right?

fsdb (inum: 3)> findblk 96032
fsdb (inum: 3)>

Again - findblk did not returned inode 3.

So what is the exact formula to get the right findblk number and then 
right inode number as result of findblk command?

I am still lost in terms (words) and numbers :(
