how about using dmapi/XDSM 
(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9657099/toc.h) and the 
dm_get_allocinfo() call ?

This interface is supported by XFS for IRIX and Linux, GPFS for IBM 
AIX and Linux, Veritas VxFS for Sun Solaris, JFS for HP-UX, JFS2 for 
AIX 52B and Linux. But Linux distributions mostly don't have support 
for dmapi in their kernels, just the "Enterprise Server" of SuSE, but 
unfortunately not even their "Professional" box has it.
