Hi all,

I'm trying to create a new library on a NAS device which has been mounted on my local machine.

Some Stats:
NAS: Netgear ReadyNAS NV+
OS: Ubuntu 11.10
Mount Location: /media/mediaStorage/EBooks
Mount Type: CIFS

When I load Calibre it tells me that the database appears to be corrupted.

Error:

calibre, version 0.8.37
Corrupted database: The library database at /media/mediaServer/EBooks appears to be corrupted. Do you want calibre to try and rebuild it automatically? The rebuild may not be completely successful. If you say No, a new empty calibre library will be created.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 190, in initialize_db
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/database2.py", line 196, in __init__
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/database2.py", line 151, in connect
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/database2.py", line 518, in initialize_database
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/sqlite.py", line 314, in run
DatabaseException: database is locked
	RemoteTraceback (most recent call last):
	  File "site-packages/calibre/library/sqlite.py", line 271, in run
	OperationalError: database is locked

I've taken a look at the permissions on the .db file which is created and my user has read/write permissions on the file.

I then press 'NO' to create a new database and get the following error:

calibre, version 0.8.37
ERROR: Bad database location: Bad database location u'/media/mediaServer/EBooks'. calibre will now quit.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 177, in initialize_db_stage2
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/database2.py", line 196, in __init__
  File "site-packages/calibre/library/database2.py", line 148, in connect
OSError: [Errno 26] Text file busy: '/media/mediaServer/EBooks/metadata.db'

Is this all just crazy permissions problems? Any suggestions on how I might resolve it? I've set the permissions both via the file properties and by sshing into the NAS as root and setting permissions there as well.

thanks,
enjiro
