Attempt to add books fails

[w0wbagger]

Hey all, my calibre has been working fine for quite a while. Yesterday the RAID that I store them all was full (I was unaware) and I attempted to add some books, and they failed, and now that I've cleared space on it and attempt to add some books, it goes through the "Adding" sequence, including asking me if I want to add some books that are already there in a different format, but when I select "yes", It throws an error. It says it Failed to add any books, and the "Show Details" looks like this:

calibre, version 4.19.0
ERROR: Errors while adding: Failed to add any books, click "Show details" for more information


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed to add the book: Resist: Tales From A Future Worth Fighting Against
C:\Users\ituck\AppData\Local\Temp\calibre_5piamr\u qppwh_add_books\0\resist.mobi
With error:

Now, my catalog appears to be okay (at least, I can look at it), but it won't allow me to add new ones. Now that I type this, I realize that perhaps I should reboot my RAID in case a file is showing open, so I'll try that, but if anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.

Your security software/OS may have updated and you no longer can write to your TEMP folder.

I'd suggest trying library maintenance on your calibre library. I can't help but think it became corrupted when the disk filled up.

Follow-up.

The database is on a RAID box, so rebooting my computer didn't do it, but as I suspected above, rebooting the RAID seems to have reset any permissions/open ownerships that might have been blocking the program from writing to the calibre database.

So, problem resolved, thanks for your suggestions!

that's a disk I/O error, it means sqlite failed to write data to the disk.
