I had my calibre library on a NAS share for several years. I didn't have to do anything special, just moved the library and used it. I used NFS to share, no SMB or CIFS. Synology NAS and Ubuntu Linux on the PC. It worked fine, if a bit slow. Now I have the library on a bigger local drive, and backup to the NAS using BackInTime.

I assume that it is SMB and CIFS that causes problems.
