The rpm -qf <filename> will tell you what rpm a given filename belongs to. It may also work for directories and other types of directory entries as well. The rpm command returns a 0 when the file belongs to an rpm and 1 when it does not. Just check every file on the disk (which would be slow) and you should have it.
