Whenever I do this, Calibre tells me that the database is corrupted and asks to rebuild, even after shutting down calibre-server first.
After rebuilding, I get errors when trying to update / edit the metadata. All of the files are locked.
For example...when trying to add the publishing date to this title....(it is not open in any other program.)
calibre, version 3.15.0

When I chmod 755 the library folder, the database became unreadable, I couldn't open titles, and had to restore the db. Restoring the database failed.
