4k blocks is what to expect unless you are using larger pages.

>From mkfs.xfs manpage:
"	-b block_size_options
		This option specifies the fundamental block size of the filesys‐
		tem.  The valid block_size_options are: log=value or  size=value
		and  only  one  can  be  supplied.   The block size is specified
		either as a base two logarithm value with log=, or in bytes with
		size=.   The default value is 4096 bytes (4 KiB), the minimum is
		512, and the maximum is 65536 (64 KiB).  XFS on Linux  currently
		only supports pagesize or smaller blocks."

Regards,
