# rpm -q xfsprogs

# man mkfs.xfs
...
                   sparse[=value]
                          Enable sparse inode chunk allocation. The value is either 0 or 1, with 1 signifying that sparse allocation is enabled.  If the value is omitted, 1  is  assumed. Sparse inode allocation is disabled by default. This feature is only available for filesystems formatted with -m crc=1.
