DNSB: Yeah - all of the above:-). That is, I've tried every configuration I could think of.
If I crate a library in Windows in a shared folder, shut Win Calibre down, try to access it from a vm, I get the corrupted catalog error.

If I use Calibre in the vm, use the Calibre Library button in the toolbar, choose create a library, select an empty directory on a shared folder, I immediatly get the corrupted libraryu message - even though there is not library there - I'm trying to create it. You said you could access it from Linux if you crated it from there. That's more than I get.

In case someone wonders about the distro - I get the same results using Debian based, Ubuntu based, and Fedora based distros.

In Virtualbox, access to the shared folder is virtualized - system level calls are handled by Virtualbox. I suppose it could be a Virtualbox problem, but I can do anything else I can thing of on the shared folder from the vm, crate/delete files, copy files from to the the vm, etc.

But thanks for your feedback.
