I have been doing a load of library maintenance - removing duplicates - correcting series - grabbing metadata and covers.
I decided to do a full scale "convert ePub to ePub" to make sure everything was spot on with all the files.
(I have over 9500 titles in library if that makes a difference)
It started conversion - go 2% through lining them up to convert and I got
calibre, version 0.8.61
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>DatabaseException</b>:disk I/O error

I figured maybe there was some dross in the files choking it so I ran Modify ePub plugin - left it running overnight. Came back in morning - no error messages
Checked jobs and found a note that it had been terminated as it was taking too long to run!!
However, I then reran Calibre's ePub to ePub conversion and now it got 70% through lining them up to convert before choking again
Any thoughts??
(There's over 150GB free space on disc concerned although they are in my Dropbox folder - which also has plenty of space online)
