there is a software which is able to get the data/resource fork info of the files. i also want to get that info. http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag-2.php

Are you saying that you're writing iDefrag, or that it's an existence proof that the information you need is available?

If the latter, can you provide some high-level details about what you're trying to achieve. Doing logical to physical block mapping from within an I/O Kit media filter is going to be... tricky.
