Hello,
I have a computer with a small hard drive and I have many GB's of books so, when I was running Windows, I put the calibre database on a windows share of another machine. Calibre worked with zero problems.

I recently switched to linux and installed calibre 5.26.

On linux the database is a permanently mounted cifs volume. All other non-calibre files on that volume are accessible with no problems.

When I try to tell calibre to use that same database that I was using with Windows, I get a bunch of python messages from initialize_db, create_backend, etc. concluding with a apsw.BusyError: BudyError: database is locked.

I don't understand this. I am the only user. I have only one machine that connects to this database and it was closed cleanly on Windows before the switch to linux.

I would love to understand what is going on here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
