This sounds like the root of your problem and it sounds like whatever is happening, that you are doing something to the system that is bad. From your previous descriptions of what you are trying to do (which is clone systems from a master image), in order to individualize a duplicated image, you really need to understand how to administer Linux -- without GUI tools. If you don't know how to do that, you are going to spin your wheels forever. This is where I go back to my previous advise to hire somebody who knows what they are doing. Tools are great for productivity, but my rule about tools is that you are not allowed to use a tool to do a job until you understand what the tool is doing and can do it manually. > 2.

You might find this distasteful, but honestly, real Linux and Unix admin are done at the command line, not with tools. b.
