e2fsck output on my ext4 partition

I ran e2fsck on my newly ext4 formatted backup drive and noticed I have approx. 40 % of non-contiguous inodes.  I have noticed that I get a report when fsck runs at boot that reports a % non-contiguous files.  Can I measure that on the partition if not mounted with e2fsck?

#e2fsck -f -v /dev/sdc1

Re: e2fsck output on my ext4 partition

I  think "-p" will produce that output.
