Hmm, no, this is some kind of POSIX thing. Most filesystems support
sparse files, and truncation out beyond eof; am I misunderstading the
problem here?

Oh, right - but thats not a mkfs problem as much a missing libc
package library, right?

Yeah, patches welcome. I don't really see a strong case for this,
I prefer it to be fixed properly (use a rescue disk, which is much
more common) - so if you want it, you'll need to write a patch to
xfsprogs packaging to do it (which I will happily accept, provided
its tested and works).
