The calibre documentation warns against having a calibre library on a shared drive. Don't do it.
Also using a windows version of calibre to access a calibre library on a Linux share may cause silent corruption of the calibre library over time. Possibly with permanent data loss as a consequence. As I told you in another thread.
You can install calibre on either a windows computer or a Linux computer, and use it from there. But if you use the same calibre library variously from windows and Linux you will most likely experience problems.
I run calibre exclusively on Linux. I use it to update folders on a NAS with saved copies of books from the calibre library. I use the folder as a device from calibre. It is organized with subfolders for genres and nice filenames with series information and so on. Then I sync the contents of these folders to my devices using the android app Folder Sync. I currently don't use the calibre server.
Every time I use calibre my calibre libraries are automatically backed up from my PC to a NAS using versioned rsync snapshots.
