Library Database location vs Library location (nas)

I am trying to move from Windows to Linux (Arch). On Windows, my Calibre database was held on a CIFS mount. I did not know that this was unsupported - it just seemed to work.

On Linux, I am getting "Database locked" errors while trying to set the old location during wizard setup. I understand why (as above, libraries, or specifically their databases, on network drives are unsupported). So I am using
Code:

CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH
as a way to split their locations which appears to be working okay so far.

I noticed in global.py.json that there is a
Code:

database_path
alongside
Code:

library_path
set to my nas location. It seems unused and is pointing to an arbitrary file that doesn't exist. It seems to be a way to set the database path via config, although it appears to be unused right now. Are there any plans to have the database location settable in config?
