Hello guys!
I'm new to this Forum and also new to FreeNAS. Now recently (actualy a few months) ago I have first heared of FreeNAS and it's rock solid filesystem ZFS. With my interest in data-security being awaken, I have looked deeper into things and found lots of nice things.
To make things short: I am about to build my own box at home to store and share my data (either localy or VPN). I have read lots of posts and comments to make my decisions on the hardware and think I made a solid choice. But as things are, I would not open this thread if I didn't have a question or two.
Now one of the things I'd like my FreeNAS to do is being able to record TV series from sheddule.
(I know some will shout out loud at this point, but hey, FreeNAS offers the options - If I simply wanted storage my old NAS could get the job done.)
While I am still waiting for some hardware to arrive, I am toying arround with FreeNAS in a VM for now. I have been able to set up MythTV with XServer in a Jail so far, but without testing my Tuner. It's a PCIe Tuner Card that I have sitting here already.
I have been looking for guides on how to pass-through a PCIe Card to a Jail, but I have not been able to find something close enough to my setup yet. Most answers covered USB-Sticks/Dongles, but as far as I am aware, PCIe is a whole different story. Now, I don't want to set up a second PC to run 24/7 just for that one feature.
The only working solution I have found is running ESXi natively with a virtualized FreeNAS and a virtualized Linux. Now I'm not too happy with this solution, since I want FreeNAS to handle my precious data. Even with Backup, I have read about the risks. I'm not too keen on a fragile system. That's why I'm building that box in the first place!
What kind of solution would you recommend? Is it even possible to pass-through? I think I could slap MythTV onto native FreeNAS somehow, but how unorthodox is that?!
I don't claim to know every possible way yet, so please help me out!
Thanks!
