{{ WARNING |
Calibre now explicitly disallows sharing a library over a network share. I have been adding books by means of the web interface.
}}
If reading a calibre library off a samba-share, you must mount as CIFS with the option: nobrl, otherwise your
database will appear corrupt due to locking.

{{ NOTE |
This works fine to read, but fails when trying to add books to the library.<br>
Try setting environment variable $CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH to read books off the
network, but keep your own local database for them.<br>
