`rke etcd snapshot-restore` doesn't use this configuration and restores snapshot to a wrong directory

[Zebradil]

I have custom directories for etcd data and wal files. rke etcd snapshot-restore doesn't use this configuration and restores snapshot to a wrong directory.

RKE version: v1.2.8

Docker version:

Type/provider of hosts: Openstack

cluster.yml file:

# trimmed
services:
  etcd:
    extra_args:
      # scale etcd disk performance, see https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/en/installation/options/etcd/
      data-dir: "/var/lib/rancher/etcd/data/"
      wal-dir: "/var/lib/rancher/etcd/wal/wal_dir"
    extra_binds:
      - "/var/lib/etcd/data:/var/lib/rancher/etcd/data"
      - "/var/lib/etcd/wal:/var/lib/rancher/etcd/wal"
# trimmed

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create RKE cluster using custom paths for data-dir and wal-dir arguments
2. Create a snapshot with rke etcd snapshot-save
3. Restore snapshot with rke etcd snapshot-restore

Results:

The snapshot is restored into a directory, which is not mounted to the etcd containers, etcd uses the pre-restore data.

I got it working by patching the code, preparing a PR currently.

I'm looking at this

Any update on this? Ran into the same issue and can restore backups only with @Zebradil fix.

It will go in later, with current code freeze it won't go in next release.
