My library is synced by dropbox, so it can change at any time. I use monit to deal with restarting calibre whenever necessary, including at boot.
The reasons are both historical and from paranoia. The historical reason: calibre-server before V2 didn't see changes in the metadata.db file, so calibre *had* to be restarted to see changes. This isn't true now.
The paranoia reason: I don't want to get into situations where the server has a detached file. If dropbox uses "unlink and recreate" instead of "overwrite" then the server won't ever see changes. In addition, I don't want to deal will permission hassles or locking.
