How to see fragmentation of a specific file?

Is there a tool that would show me for a specific file on disk, how fragmented it is? (How many seeks does physical disk need to make if I were to read that file in a linear fashion)

filefrag is the tool you're looking for, if you're using Linux. Use -v parameter with filename to get detailed list of fragmentation. http://linux.die.net/man/8/filefrag
