Criticize my backup strategy
Actual media storage (movies, pictures, anything that lives on my unRAID box) is mounted to each pod that needs it via the SMB CSI driver. I would love to use NFS instead, but even with 4.x, I was running into stale file mount issues. You can see my findings and why I decided to use SMB instead here

Using S3 as shared storage
What is the recommended way to use S3 as shared storage for media (videos)? Currently I'm using SAMBA network share RWX volumes using this plugin and I would like to switch to S3 compatible service to increase performance and to avoid my current limit set by my cloud provider on that SAMBA server of 10 active connections for SAMBA.

Network Storage on On-Prem Barebones Machine
With SMB I'm using the CSI SMB Driver helm chart to deploy it. When creating the persistent volume I'm able to use some mounting options where I have the following included:

Beginner needing help with Persistant storage
Kubernetes has a native solution for many different storage integrations - CSI. There is a CSI driver for SMB as well. After installing the driver you will be able to map your config files from smb server via regular volume mount and config map.

CIFS/SMB share mounted inside a pod
I mean, in short either find a project that includes support for it (I don't know of one), or look at a CSI that does like the SMB CSI driver.

Mounting CIFS volume on a pod - security contexts needed
Using a CSI Plugin you should be able to separate the admin side from the user side. I haven't dove into this but here is a plugin that might help - https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-smb

Accessing network drive with volume under Windows
Look into using flex volumes (though depricated) or its successor SMB CSI driver
