That's EMC's "OneFS" filesystem (EMC bought out Isilon).

Is "kmeans" on the target or the source filesystem? If it's the source,
keep in mind that OneFS can do data dedupes (assuming it's enabled),
but it is a NAS device (NFS and/or SMB). I don't believe it's capable
of sparse files (few NAS are). The data dedupe would reduce the actual
storage on disk on the EMC device , but not report it as a sparse
filesystem.
