Hello. I am trying to store my calibre database on to a NAS drive but running it on my Mac OSX10.7. It works well on local drive (thank you to the developer for the great tool!) but to save space I want to offload it to a drive mapped on my finder.

I am not trying to let it multi user access, but despite it letting me map it to a volume through the finder, with full r/w privs, it then throws up many errors.

I then copied the data to the NAS with the move library tool and things fail with a metadata read.

calibre, version 0.8.53
WARNING: Failed to read metadata: Failed to read metadata from the following:

Is one of the examples.

Is there any way around this as, with all my magazines and things, it is a lot of data (plus the NAS is backed up better!).


Thank you.
