Calibre Permission Error

[ttraxx]

Hi Everyone,

I am running calibre LSIO docker and keep getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre/db/backend.py", line 415, in rmtree_with_retry
File "shutil.py", line 732, in rmtree
File "shutil.py", line 683, in _rmtree_safe_fd
File "shutil.py", line 681, in _rmtree_safe_fd
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'metadata.opf'

I have manually checked all of the metadata.opf files that are mounted in my system (QNAP linux host) library directory have proper permissions, but I don't know where else there could be these "metadata.opf" files?

Calibre seems to be working im just getting this errors spamming in my logs

Thanks in advance!

Do you have anything else accessing the directory or do you have the directory open in anything?

Are these eBooks you are getting from a torrent site?

Jon; I really wish you'd stop with this harping over torrented material. Whether they are or not is not relevant to the question being asked. There is NO indication in the log of any book titles / sources.

Legitimate stuff uses Torrent protocol.

Exclude that from Calibre directories/folders.

Apologies - sharing full logs here: https://pastebin.com/HgRWFjn3

It seems like something in the `expire_old_trash` function could be causing it.

Is there a way to force delete everything in the trash (including db records referencing trash if needed?)

Remove Books > Restore recently deleted. It'll look like this (though probably not empty):



Check the tooltip for 'permanently delete after', there's an option to delete upon closing Calibre which may help.

Couple of FAQs that might be relevant:

Because you mentioned QNAP, which I know as a Network Accessible Storage (NAS) device ==>> I am getting errors with my calibre library on a networked drive/NAS?

Because this is the error you're getting ==>> I am getting a “Permission Denied” error?

The .caltrash folder (which is hidden) contains no database. The library folder contents for a removed book is moved to .caltrash/b/nnnn where nnnn is the books id column. AFAIK there is no reference to removed books or formats in the library database.

Any details as to how you've created the Docker container, and how you've mounted the folder containing your calibre library to the container?
