I have been using Calibre portable under windows. I previously also used the same library with my natively installed Calibre on openSUSE. I recently attempted to use my library under Linux and am getting read only file system errors when I attempt to start Calibre under openSUSE. The USB drive is formatted as exFAT, I've checked permissions and I have write permissions to the folder. Does running a library off of USB no longer work?
