Error message when updating metadata - changing title or author
I get the following error message (see qoute below) when modifying metadata for a book. I've located the error message to be connected to changing Title or Author of the book, and also when deleting the book. Other metadata can be modified without any problem. It looks like the error message comes when I want to rename or delete a directory in the file structure. The strange thing is that this error message does not appear when a book is created, i.e. when the files and directories are created. It does not appear when the book is converted to other formats or when other formats of the books are removed, i.e. adding and deleting files within the directory.
I'm storing the library on a network disk mounted as CIFS mounting point from my NAS. I know that this is not recommended, but this is my setup. Everything was working as it should until 1-2 weeks ago. I did 2 things around that time:
I think I managed to add the CIFS mount point correct, and from a File Explorer on the same server as I run Calibre, I am able to rename and delete directories on the network drive. Are there any changes done in Calibre that could cause this error? I don't remember the previous version of Calibre, but I check regulary, maybe every 2-3 weeks for updates. Here is the error message I get: Quote:

You have found one of the problems trying to run calibre from a Network Attached device.
Please read the FAQ at the Calibre help site. At best, NAS or network devices should only be used to SHADOW (one way sync only) the Library. Some folk get away with using NAS, but t, then the question only is: When will it bite you |

Thanks guys, I've read the FAQ regarding this. That's why I said that I know this is not recommended. The reason for storing my library on a NAS network share, is not because I share this area with others. It's because of security, my NAS disk is running RAID 5 and I have a parity disk securing my data. This is important for me.
And the strange thing is that it did work before. And the user accessing the file share has full privileges on the share. |
