This is ZE problem w/ your distro, cycles are too short, meaning you have to upgrade often (every 6 months IIRC) to avoid further problems if you jump several upgrades; this is why it is almost never used for servers except for LTS versions… > Normally, I'd clonezilla the system drive before I > did an upgrade, but it's not working right on my Linux raid 1 boot > drives. You could use something like: http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/ that have a very good manual and can also be burned on a USB key (it supplies the binary for that.) It has driveimage - do NOT use it if your FS isn't in the list, see the package info as it is part of Debian - and FSarchiver, usable in any circumstance as it does a block backup and is therefore FS agnostic.
