I saw no linvst processes or wineservers running.

Rescanning VSTs also hung Reaper.

After treeconverting with the non-X linvst.so everything started again as it should.

What might have made things hanging?

I havn't had that happen.

The lin-vst-server-x hangs around once it's started and restarting reaper or doing a rescan should just use the already running lin-vst-server-x server just like it initially did after the server was first started.

So if the server just vanishes without a trace then I don't know what is causing that as the server usually needs to be killed to exit.

If someone is trying to kill the server and the server is not killed properly then some shared memory can linger and that can interfere with future scans but a reboot will set it back to normal.

Use htop to kill the server properly (when no plugins are loaded) and that deletes the shared memory as well.

But usually the server should be just left to run and not be killed.

There will be some changes soon as it's still in beta at this point.
