Currently using the 1.6.0 release compiled on Ubuntu 16.04. After the miner has been running for an arbitrary amount of time, it gets stuck in a state where it does nothing. It seems to have a problem in trying to stop the plot reader.

Snippet from attached log:

09.05.2017 20:32:30 (0, src/Miner.cpp, 172, Debug): Clearing queues, plot-read-queue: 1, verification-queue: 0
09.05.2017 20:32:30 (0, src/Miner.cpp, 175, Debug): Deallocating memory, used: 0.0 MB
09.05.2017 20:32:30 (0, src/Miner.cpp, 177, Debug): Verification queue cleared.

From this point, this just repeats for every new block, and no plotfiles are read ever again, until I restart the miner. This has happened on 3 occasions in the past 2 weeks of 24/7 mining now.

Thought I fixed this in #82, but apparently it is still there.
Will take a closer look.
Thanks for the log!

Hey @BurnMe2 are you talking about the same issue I posted about? If not, could you please file your own issue so that it doesn't confuse everyone? Thanks!

Anyway @Creepsky, I tried out the branch for about 6 hours or so before my linux system became non-functional for other reasons, so I couldn't test it out for longer unfortunately.

@fayf ok thanks for the information. Let me know if you have new infos on this.
I think @burnme speaks about the same issue (miner is stuck).

I updated the branch - please try it again, it should solve your problem nr. 3 :)

Also I build in a mechanism to avoid problem nr. 2 that you had. You now can set the buffersize to a lower value without the drawback of a low read-speed.
