Yes.

Stop using the same calibre library in both Windows from Linux.

It will corrupt the library and may cause you to lose metadata and books.

The reason is that Windows and Linux have different case sensitivity. In Linux "Book.epub" and "book.epub" are two different filenames. In Windows they are identical. This will slowly cause data-rot in the library.

I don't know the exact cause of the error you showed. But it might be related to differences in the filesystems. Perhaps Linux has problems using the ntfs filsystem?
