I've been using COPS quite happily on my headless Raspberry Pi server running Ubuntu 20.10 for a year or so. The library is on a 1TB usb hard drive plugged into the Pi, and Ubuntu runs on a 120 GB SSD. I discovered yesterday it has stopped working, possibly as a result of allowing an ubuntu upgrade a couple of weeks or so ago. Now COPS reports that metadata.db isn't present at /mnt/usb-hdd/calibre-library/ even though I can see it there by listing the directory via the command line. Owner and permissions haven't changed since it was working.

If I copy the library folder to the system drive on /home/calibre-library and modify config_local.php to suit it works fine, but I want my library on the main storage drive. Has anybody experienced something similar or have any suggestions?
