I now think it is to do with the way I cloned these particular client machines. I used a variation of Create a valid F23 master machine/SSD and dump it whilst unmounted ... dump 0f /mnt/zip/F22_dump_2015_06_22 /dev/sdb5 ... Restore to the disk/SSD of another machine restore -rf /mnt/zip/F22_dump_2015_06_22 (This took less than 120s) ... mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/zip mount -o bind /dev /mnt/zip/dev mount -o bind /proc /mnt/zip/proc mount -o bind /sys /mnt/zip/sys chroot /mnt/zip gedit /etc/fstab gedit /etc/hostname Sort out grub2 I used to gedit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1 but recently I have been lazy and let NM "sort it out" - for F23 I think it/I didn't get it quite right! Adding an extra "mount -o bind /run /mnt/zip/run" to the list above lets me use nmcli in the chroot environment but it is not quite clear to me exactly what to do at that stage!
