We are not talking corruption at the filesystem level (what RAID fights).

Calibre does many file and database entries that MUST remain in lockstep.
Also 2 simultaneous users might cause a clash as the write is from a memory version (and the other has no way of knowing things changed).
Calibre is not a true Client - server app. There are no File - record lock type interactions.
