I’ve recently switched to Linux (Tumbleweed) and the other day i was setting up Calibre. I already have a library on my HDD so i proceeded to simply import the existing one. No problems at all, i’ve even added a couple ebooks. Turned off the pc and went to sleep. The next day i wanted to read a book, opened up Calibre and an error appeared: filesystem on my HDD is read only. What?? Since when? No idea what happened. Any suggestions?

    If you still have Windows i.e. you dual boot, then Windows might have taken control over the HDD. A similar thing happened to me. If that is your case, you need to go back into Winodws, open the command prompt and type in shutdown /s /f /t 0. This is caused by having fastboot enabled which makes Windows never fully shutdown when powered off.

      After a couple of hours trying random commands in the console i’ve found ntfsfix and it worked. Apprently there were Windows files in the cache of the hdd
