stat 58401
  File: `58401'
  Size: 4300800         Blocks: 8400       IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: 801h/2049d      Inode: 13901264    Links: 1

modulo 8192 it gives 525 which is the number of blocks that we see.

Actually these blocks are like a big hole in between. Blocks 279 to
518 are zeroed out and then 519 to 524 is index data. Number 523 is
the one which has been zeroed out too causing all the mayhem.
