Mapping Network Drive
I've finally got Bazzite to function well within my unraid VM. GPU passthrough is working well and the GPU shows in terminal when searched for.
I'm currently struggling to get a 'network drive' to mount within steam. The 'network drive' is just a share in the server that hosts all of the steam files and performance is more than sufficient.
I want to make this 'network' drive show up as a SD card or some type of permanently mounted drive so I can point steam to it.
Manually editing the fstab to add the share drive results in a 'user' CIFS mounts not supported.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hardware Compatibility for Gaming - Bazzite Documentation
Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
proton/wine is only supported in btrfs or ext4
This doesn't assist. This references a secondary drive, not a network mapped drive.
Im not sure then
If you use smb then you can probably add it in dolphin
once you mount it then you should probably be able to see it in steam
I am really not sure if it would work in steam though
I can see the network drive in dolphin. Steam doesn't want to take it. In ubuntu, I had to edit the fstab and perm mount the network drive. Then steam would accept it as a viable storage option.
You can do it the exact same way in bazzite
It gives me an error stating that 'user' CIFS mount not supported
this is my fstab entry:
//192.168.1.3/shared /mnt/server cifs credentials=/etc/samba/credentials/server,iocharset=utf8,noperm 0 0
try
sudo mount -aThat did the trick. Now steam is saying this
Hmz, I'm not getting that :/
try to add exec as last argument in the mount and unmount and mount again.
Where would I add exec?
after noperm add ,exec
no change
Noperm should take care of the permissions yeah. I use it because of being too lazy to set those properly. Not sure why it works for me and not you 🙁
I'm not sure. At this point it may be simpler to undo the network share and passthrough the nvme drive. I was hoping to prevent that, because the windows VM also uses the network share for steam.
Now bazzite wont boot. Oh linux. Never change.

Hope it's not because of no nofail in the mount options. Only now noticing that I didn't set that
Not sure. I've deleted the VM. I'll install a new one and try again.
