Hi there,

I believe the -c "fpunch 4k 12k" is supposed to be what puts the hole 
there.  If I run the command you have above, the fiemap should show you 
a hole.  Something like this:

xfs_io -f -c "truncate 20k" -c "falloc 0 20k" -c "pwrite 0k 8k" -c 
"fsync" -c "pwrite 12k 8k" -c  "fsync" -c "fpunch 4k 12k" -c "fiemap -v"

    1: [8..31]:         hole                24
    2: [32..39]:        328..335             8   0x1

If you do not see the hole there, it could be that your punch hole 
operation is failing for some reason.
