Move apparently hung and abort unavailable

net-buoy · 04-12-2011, 12:39 PM

Using 0.7.46 and decided to try to do a library "move" to a mounted webdav. Thiings seemed to move right along until calibre got to the lst book or so, and now it seems to be hung on the same message for about 8 hours ("Copied XXXXXXX".)

Unfortunately, the abort button has not been accessible (greyed out) since the process started.

The files are all copied and show access dates from yesterday, though the folder for the author supposedly having been copied shows a time stamp of 10 minutes ago.......

We are talking ~120 megs here, an this arguably should have completed hours and hours ago.....

Force quit calibre and move the files using filesystem tools. A move is just calibre copying all the files from source to dest. Once the copy completes, calibre will delete src and switch library to dest. If the copy is ung, abort, and copy manually, the use switch library in calibre.

Thanks - I have a clearer sense of what is happening now. I was hoping to simply get calibre running on a linux server, but as that has turned out to be three and a half projects - lol - so I thought I'd look at creating a shared lib so that it could be accessed by several persons.... even with rsync this is not going to be ideal. But calibre is fantastic and thanks for all your work
