how does one truncate the remaining space after a gparted resize? just dd a copy to the size you want?

Ideally I would want a reasonable HDBaseT 2.0 Box that supports 4K, USB 2.0 and also has some way to tell it which HDBaseT 2.0 receiver it should send to. Even though the spec is 3 years old this stuff isn't on the market yet and when it hits it will be way too pricey. What I'm thinking now is perhaps getting HDBaseT 1.0 4k boxes (sender + receiver pairs) + equivalent USB over CAT6 boxes and then come up with some kind of physical routing switch. Like 4 HDBaseT transmitters -> "magic switcher" -> each routes to one of the 11 HDBaseT receivers.

I am using OpenHAB and actually building my own frontend with ReactJS for it so I will be able to plug it into anything. I really want HDBase 2.0 routing..

I am planning on building a beefy unRAID setup centrally located in my home with 2-3x Nvidia GTX 1070/1090 cards, each dedicated to its own VM. Then each VM would be available to any of the stations (monitor+mouse+keyboard) or TV setups around the home. However there seems to be no really affordable way of doing HDMI routing from the unRaid server to the stations (~8 of them). any ideas? Ideas so far 1. HDMI Matrix (3-4 inputs to 8 outputs) ~ $900+ and does not include HdBaseT or USB extensions to rooms. I could control these units remotely using the RS-232 http://www.hdtvsupply.com/8x8-hdmi-matrix-switchers.html 2. Each video card tied to a VM will be have HDMI outputs onboard (~ 4). Is there anyway to tell the VM which one to enable programmatically? Imagine if each video card associated with 1 VM has 4 HDMI and those are routed to 4 rooms. Then I could tell the VM use HDMI 2. Anybody try this? 3. HDBaseT 2.0 has a routing feature, which is exactly what I want but I have not seen a single vendor pick this up yet. It seems like with this specification you would plug your HDMI output from your video card into HDBaseT 2.0 transmitter that then plug into your network. They also have built in USB.. awesomeness. Then you can programmatically route the packets over to any specific HDBaseT receiver box I am assuming that USB would be carried over Cat6 converters and I would be able to pass the USB controller or each device into the VMs with UnRaid as I have done with EXSI previously. USB routing would be another topic for conversation but it should be easier than HDMI
