Moving from unRAID to Fedora

I am in the process of moving from unRAID to Fedora 26 so I can play CS:GO again. (my PCI pass-through to Windows is blocked by Steam/VAC).

I have Fedora installed on a 512 SSD. I have 3 x 2TB drives. How do I combine them to one big drive (like Windows Storage Spaces) and then enable file shares so my other network devices can move files to and from the big drive?

Mdadm
Or lvm
Or lvm raid

Or just use ZFS to pool all three drives together and then pass that with NFS or SMB.

You realise unraid and fedora use the exact same software for virtualization right? Its just easier to setup a vm in unraid… I don’t get what you mean by your pass-through being blocked by Steam? Never heard of that.

Do you know of any guides for the ZFS with NFS/SMB for Fedora. Everything I am finding is for some other distro or is too old.

Freenas has the best zfs documentation so thats what I’m linking.

If you plan to stick with fedora, then just ignore the UI related stuff in the docs but pay attention to the use of zfs.

They also have a section for SMB/NFS

Carbongrip. Steam will VAC kick you if you are playing CS:GO on a VM. I can’t install CS:GO on to unRAID to play from the “host”.

The changes I made with the move have an old 7870 card for the host Fedora and a RX480 to passthrough to Windows 10 for non-CSGO gaming and normal use. My primary machine will be the Windows VM, Linux still isn’t ready to replace Windows.

You shouldn’t need to play it on the “host”, if you setup a VM right then it can be undetectable as to whether you are on a VM or not. We hide VM status so we can install Nvidia Graphics Card Drivers with out an error code.

well, I am about to FUCK linux and just install windows, where shit works with out hours and hours of fucking with it

no one said anything here. I also tried the nvidia thing and it didn’t work…
