I have been using CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH for a while now to speed up my NAS based library. Have at least two Win 10 machines using it (not at the same of course) on a regular basis.

However my Ubuntu based server is busted. I have tried from the command line and from the existing upstart to define both --with-library=<point to NAS directory> and CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH=<points to metadata.db>
Both directories are locally mounted via fstab.

I can't get this to work. Its as if the server command ignores the database override.

Does anybody have this working?
