If you don't have anything better to go on you might try it anyway.

I think the kernel takes care of the numbering for you, except probably 
  that FS blocks are bigger than disk blocks (debugfs shows this, 
blockcount is a multiple of total blocks).  In that case you can 
probably get the right number out of e2fsck -c.
