My scenario is calibre server running on a Raspberry Pi which is connected to my router and also used as file server, the database is on an external USB drive (NTFS formatted) connected to the Raspi and mounted there with
nobrl option.
So the server runs on linux and the database and my PC are on NTFS.
I have access to the external drive from my Windows PC and all other devices in my home network.
To be cautious I allways stop the calibre server on the Raspi before I work with the database from my PC, i.e. adding/editing/deleting books, and restart calibre server after that, quick and easy with SSH access.
No trouble so far.
PS: I use a rather old version of calibre server (2.75.1) because there's no newer one in the repositories and didn't want to compile myself.
