I have Calibre setup on a desktop in my house. I have the drive it is on mounted on my other computers (E drive). I then have the other computers open the Calibre database and use it there. That way I don't have seperate databases on each computer. I have been running calibre like this for about a year with no problems. Yesterday when I went to open calibre I got an error
calibre, version 0.8.16
ERROR: Repairing failed: The database repair failed. Starting with a new empty library.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 137, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\debug.py", line 72, in reinit_db

I really don't want to create a new database and re-import because I only have half my books in Calibre but all my books are stored in the same folder. So trying to figure out which books have been imported and which haven't would be impossible.
Thanks for anyhelp :-)
