I have Calibre on Ubuntu on my netbook where it doesn't do this. But...

I reinstalled Ubuntu and Calibre on a dual-boot Windows 7, Ubuntu 1.5. I always update, everything is current.

Because I have dual hard drives, one for Ubuntu and one for Windows, I copied my calibre library to the Ubuntu drive. This is a logical drive on the Ubuntu drive because of limits in the installation program I used.

I mounted it, Calibre opened it, every thing was rainbows except it is constantly updating the metadata. I've let it run to 0, thinking that would do it but the next time I started Calibre, It began updating metadata. 5,000 to go.

Yikes. Too big a drag on the system and on calibre.
