I'm trying to setup the Terraria-tModLoader server, and I can't figure out how to get the mods to load. It seems to just run like a normal Terraria server - any idea what I'm missing? Edit: Disregard - I needed to add an enabled.json file to the Mods folder to enable the mods.

Good advice, thanks. I haven't encountered any access issues yet, but I'm using a dedicated z-net controller with it's own IP, so that's likely why.

I know this post is dated, but since I came across it while attempting to do the same setup, I figured I'd follow up to let you know that I was able to use the Homeseer container found here to easily setup a container in Unraid and it's been working great. I've attached a screenshot of my container settings for reference in case it's needed. I modified port 80 to 81 since I use 80 for the Unraid webUI.

What's your GPU? Is it being used by the console? Is your VM set to autostart? Just a guess, but if the GPU gets passed through to the VM on boot, but then gets assigned back to the host when the VM is restarted, maybe the host doesn't want to relinquish control of the device back to the VM afterward? Like I said, just a guess, but I've seen weird things happen when a GPU is shared between host and VM, especially with Nvidia cards.

Sounds similar to an issue I experienced last year with AMD vs Nvidia cards. I never ended up resolving the issue, but my fix was to use an AMD card to boot the VM. Something about Nvidia not liking passthrough when it's initially used as the boot/console device. There was a mention that if both the AMD and Nvidia cards were installed, and the AMD card was used as the boot/console device, then the Nvidia card might get passed through. If you can fit both cards in the system, I'd give that a try.

Hey Wedge, I don't believe integrated graphics can be passed through to VM's currently.

Hmm, if that's the case (Nvidia GPU not allowing passthrough if it's the boot/console GPU), that could explain Jonp's comment in another thread that it will likely work if I have both the Nvidia and AMD cards installed together, especially if the AMD card is used for boot/console. Now that I'm curious, I'll do some testing this week to see if I can replicate it.

You have two servers in a rack with xeon grade hardware and you're complaining about the lack of a second key promo?!?! Man...tough crowd... touché

I've got an HBA in the other slot at the moment, but that's something to consider for the second machine. Assuming that works, why would it be the case? I tried both slots with the Nvidia card alone, and got the same results.

Looks like it's a video card compatibility issue. the EVGA GT 730 I was trying to use wouldn't get passed through into any VM, but when i swapped it for an AMD Radeon 5000 series it works just fine.

So it turns out Unraid doesn't like working with GT 730 video cards, because that was the culprit. I swapped it for an AMD Radeon and it fired right up! Also, since I searched high and low about the Xeon 5420 and vt-d support, let this be confirmation that it does work just fine assuming your chipset supports it! This makes me very happy, as I have 2 identical systems in my rack and I was really hoping to virutalize all my HTPC's into one of them. If only the Unraid second key sale will still on...

I'll give a few more things a try and see where I end up. I'll post back with the results.

Actually, it says enabled: Regardless, I'm going to assume that the issues are due to the CPU, as I don't expect it supports VT-d based on it's original release date. Oh well.

I'm still scratching my head with the issues mentioned below. I tested some USB passthrough devices on another VM to ensure vt-d is working, and it looks like it is. I am guessing that maybe the syslinux.cfg changes didn't provide the right solution. Any ideas? edit: Nevermind, based on my discussions in this post, http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=42770.msg407518#msg407518, I'm assuming that my issues are hardware related.

so I ran a quick test on another VM (Windows 8.1), passing through a couple USB devices without issue. Is it safe to say vt-d is operational? If so, then than narrows down my video issues with Openelec somewhat, though I'm still at a loss as to why I don't get any video output.
