Chrome OS now supports Linux apps via containers (a.k.a. "Crostini"). User can install Debian programs, and I tried installing calibre. Since CrOS v 72 (which is currently in dev channel) with some flags enabled I can make a USB drive shareable. I thought I'd try to connect to my existing calibre library, which is located on that USB drive, but for some reason am getting an "I/O Disk Error" message and a popup suggesting library is corrupt (but it is not corrupt when I am trying to connect to it from another Linux installation).
I know this may sound like something not really that important, but I'm just curious if there will be any plans to make it work on CrOS as well. Or what might be the best way to submit this as a feature request. By the way, thanks to Kovid for making this great software through all these years.
