I just completed dumping Windows 10 (dual boot with Mint Linux) for a Linux only setup.

As part of the process, I converted my Calibre libraries, which are on a separate large NTFS HD from the Linux system drive. I use the safe method of:

1. Copy all files and folders from NTFS drive to another hard drive
2. Format NTFS drive to Linux ext4
3. Copy all files and folders back onto the ext4 drive

The drives mount in /media/username/xxxxx and it mounts and displays files fine when I boot directly into Linux with no more dual-boot or Windows involvement; eBook epub and mobi files open and display correctly in other eReader apps.

But Calibre gives me a error when I try to change to the new libraries. The main error is:

calibre, version 1.48.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>IOError</b>:[Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/media/username/xxxxxx/Calibre Libraries/Calibre Master Fiction/calibre_test_case_sensitivity.txt'

The proper files appear to be there:

-rw-rw-rw- 1 username adm 54989824 Nov 1 16:35 metadata.db
-rw-rw-rw- 1 username adm 16816 Jul 26 09:26 metadata_db_prefs_backup.json

'username' is a member of 'adm' group as well.

There is more verbage to the error message and I will be glad to post if, but though this might be enough if someone has seen this before.

The file 'calibre_test_case_sensitivity.txt' is nowhere to be found, however. This makes me suspect it may be a Linux case sensitive issue, but no clue on how to troubleshoot further.

Thanks,

Monty
