Partition sizes are roughly a 5GB source and 10GB destination.

So there's this many files in the fs:

OK, so on 3.18-rc2:

These are a handful of bytes different.

and the test shows:

A thousand less directories and 20000 less files, which doesn't make
much sense for a dump that has a few bytes difference in size.

So, I've done almost exactly the same test locally (I used the
3.18-rc2 tarball) and on both the upstream 3.18-rc2 kernel and my
current xfs-fixes-for-3.18-rc3 branch I can't reproduce your
problem:

$  find /mnt/test -type d |wc -l
3080
$  find /mnt/test  |wc -l
51068
$ zcat dump.gz | sudo xfsrestore -p 300 -J - . |grep xfsrestore
.....
xfsrestore: reading directories
xfsrestore: 3080 directories and 51068 entries processed
xfsrestore: directory post-processing
xfsrestore: restoring non-directory files
xfsrestore: restore complete: 7 seconds elapsed
xfsrestore: Restore Status: SUCCESS
$ find /mnt/scratch -type d |wc -l
3080
$ find /mnt/scratch |wc -l
51069
$ ls /mnt/scratch
dump.gz  linux-3.18-rc2
$

Which shows that it's working just fine.  I've tried cold cache
dumps. I've tried crc enabled filesystems, I've tried a bunch of
random permutations, but I cannot get dump/restore to do what you
are seeing it do. Whatever problem you are seeing is specific to
your system.

Hmmm - can you run 'ldd xfsdump' and 'ldd xfsrestore' and paste the
output for me?

Can you also please run a full test again on a kernel built from the
current xfs-fixes-for-3.18-rc3 branch, with full dump/restore debug
enabled and send me the output? i.e.

$ xfsdump -v debug ...

and 

$ xfsrestore -v debug,tree=nitty ...

They ar going to produce a lot of output, so please capture it to
files rather than trying to cut/paste output to an email.

Cheers,

Dave.
