Perhaps a bit late, but I find the "#<extent length>" reporting very
unintuitive.  Doesn't "#X" usually imply ordering?  How about:

(0-60 [61b]): 342272-342332, (61-127 [67b,uninit]): 537822-537888

... or maybe some other ideas.  IMHO it's all a bit hard to read anyway
unless it's printed in a table format ala the new filefrag output.
