In case it matters, I am using vanilla Linux 4.18.20 and not the RHEL

It seem that 4.18.20 is missing the relevant parts of the following fixes:

  a27a0c9b6a2 ("gfs2: gfs2_walk_metadata fix")
  566a2ab3c90 ("gfs2: Another gfs2_walk_metadata fix")

Without those fixes, lseek SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATa will sometimes report
garbage, and so cp doesn't know what to copy.

Well, I was just sitting down to create two CentOS 8.2 box for testing, but I really think this explains the issue reported by Pierre-Philipp. Thanks so much for these valuable information!

Can you confirm that RHEL 8.x includes the above patches?
Regards.
