This is good question.
To get the specific inode of the file ls -i filename should work. This information is part of the file-system. As for phys location of the file on the disk may take a little more work. I havent personally had to do this so I am not sure exaclty how.

I found a site on google that seems to have how to do this documented:

Hope this helps.
