  1. Hello. After years of running a home server on Ubuntu and messing around with various programs I stumbled across unRAID, took the plunge and am loving it. My only sticking point so far is getting Zoneminder to work. I previously had it running on an Ubuntu box with video feeds coming in via two Bt878 PCI cards (cheap eBay jobs that have worked for years...). I have tried installing the Docker and whilst it runs, the cards do not appear to be available. A bit more reading led me to the conclusion that the unRAID kernel does not support the cards any doesn't look like it will (I think I understood that right from a few forum posts). The next step is a VM. I can get Ubuntu up and running but am now trying to get the cards to passthrough without much luck. I think that it may be my setup at fault now though. I have a ASUSTeK M3N78-VM board with a AMD Phenom II X4 945 cpu which I think you are probably going to say to me doesn't support IOMMU so is a no go.... Am I right in thinking that I can't get any PCI card to passthrough if my system is not IOMMU capable or is it just GPUs? If thats the case then I guess its back to the drawing board with ZM and time for some cheap IP cameras from eBay...
