I could add books that are not seen on the other location. Now, the DRM issue seems to be resolved, so I installed the newest 5.10 (64) on both locations. Still no joy. I could add the two new books by draging the epubs to the masterlist, but that was it. The metadata is set to the bookstore on the NAS. There is only one metadata.db.
The official documentation, and many practical cases along the years, indicate that this is a Bad Idea™ https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...rked-drive-nas

You should get the Calibre database back to a non-networking drive before some corruption happens.
