Struggling with the Server/GUI balance.

I have Calibre-Server set to run as a service on startup. I understand I can't run both the server and the GUI at the same time.

Went to add titles. So I "sudo systemctl stop calibre-server" first.
When I opened the GUI, the library was empty.
When I checked the folder location, there was no problem. All titles were there.

Are there issues with using a mounted folder, even if its on the same machine? I have my library on a logical volume (/mnt/media).
No problem with the server reading it, or with the GUI reading it.

Any suggestions?
