hi mathias and ben, thanks for your fast reply. i've already played around with the allocsize option. xfs_bmap shows continuous files, as expected. i'm just worried, because these mismatches never showed before (while the volume was less than 50% full) and we didn't changed the workload. a quick comparsion shows overhead of about 1% for the whole volume, but given the 28MB overhead for 100MB, i expect this to increase in the future.
