Comment on Is It Worthwhile to Serve Video off a Server separate from my NAS?

If you can map a network drive (very east fstab edit BTW), then yes, its a great way to go.
That’s what I do, I have two 5-bay NASs, both use all 4 uplinks (LAG) to my switch, and my media server is an LXC on an 8th gen intel, with GPU passthrough.
If you reboot your nas, you may need to reconnect from the server. If you reboot your server, you dont have to do anything since its connecting when it starts up. If you end up needing more space, you just mount that new NAS alongside it.
To me its the better approach.

Commenting just to add “nofail” to the fstab.
I didn’t do this in Proxmox and then the drive stopped working and so did Proxmox. As a noob I ended up starting fresh and losing lots.
After adding nofail the services start up, just without the NAS attached. Without nofail it just doesn’t boot.
Nofail for the win

If its the only bit its doing or its critical for other services, yes, nofail is a good choice.
