Moving my library: calibre error

dotancohen · 02-10-2011, 07:40 AM

I am moving my calibre library to a new location on the same drive partition. Kubuntu 10.10. I got this error:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/wizard/__init__.py", line 519, in check

DatabaseException: disk I/O error
	RemoteTraceback (most recent call last):

	OperationalError: disk I/O error

Is it safe to continue?

Nevermind, there is nothing to do but continue!

I clicked OK in the dialogue, and it seems that my books were successfully moved. I did notice a bug, though, which may or may not be related to this error. I'll file the bug and mention this error. Thanks.

Disk I/O error is a hardware problem, not a software bug. Sometimes it can mean your hard disk is about to die (I know from experience). You should backup _everything_ on that drive elsewhere, just in case.

Thanks, I'll back it up now.
