The same thing happened this morning again and after some investigation it appears to be the Ubuntu auto update service as only my Unbuntu boinc-client were affected.

But after the restart cvmfs is not working properly. A reboot will do the trick.
I try to get it fixed by disabling the packetkit service as well as the autoupdate service.

Most of theory task take a very short time to be accomplished (less than a minute) and the Jobs chart show a high rate of failure (~60-70%). How to know if a task as due been completed ?
