In a cluster I exported the namespaces, and then destroyed the entire cluster along with all docker containers to simulate a full restore.

Upon building a new instance of Rancher 2.x and importing the namespaces, I get the error: `object has been modified`

UI log:

```auto

```

Update: Where are the configuration for storing the `Projects/Namespaces` located? I thought everything should have been in `/var/lib/rancher`
