library issues with calibre in ubuntu
guys,
dont know if im pushing my luck here but i have moved all my books on to my synology nas and added a few thousand books in the process (now 4000 books) and mapped the server share via nfs to the original library location.
I have also mapped the same share to my wifes windows machine which reads the books and the database fine but the calibre on my linux (ubuntu 13.04) machine does not seem to accept the library and calibre freezes. i have checked the obvious and the folder is shared with permissions as it was before. Can anyone tell me why calibre wont start on my linux machine or is this one of those times where life in windows is easier because its so lax
To be clear the windows machine has already rebuild a library (although it needs to be tweaked a little) but it seems like this 11mb file is too much or cant be read

any help would be appreciated

See my previous answer in another thread:

Cut your losses and try to salvage what you can from the library as soon as possible.

That said, I have my calibre library on a Synology NAS, and mount using NFS from my Ubuntu desktop, and it works fine. But I don't use it from any other computer or operating system.

Check under related tools. I belive some here use the webbserver on their Synology NAS to share their calibre library using different tools, like COPS or Calibre2opds.
