internals of snaphshot restore

Hi all,

Testing out snapshots on gluster and they work great! I have a question about how the snapshot restore works. After I successully restore and start up my volume, the brick directory is not the same

/run/gluster/snaps/11efcc850133419991c4614b7cb7189c/brick3/brick

And if I look in the original brick directory, the old data that predates the restore still exists. This isn't what I would have expected a "restore" to do. Especially since the restore operation requires that a volume be offline, my expectation is that it would overwrite the data in the old brick directory. 

Would anyone be able to explain why it doesn't work this way? 

Thanks,
Joe
