This is nowhere near correct. My first recommendation is to please
read the man pages so you understand what is happening; it's pretty
clear to me that you're following some other people's suggestions
without really understanding what each step does, and you're doing
some things which they were suggesting when you are creating the
small, compressed image, and what you should do after you flash the
image onto the disk.
Let me try this with a bit more more explicitly in hopes that it is
helpful.
1) Create the file system and mount it.
dd if=/dev/zero of=a.img bs=1G count=4
mke2fs -t ext4 -O ^has_journal a.img
mount -o loop a.img /mnt
2) Populate the image with your content. (I'll leave that up to you.)
3) Unmount the file system and compress it to its minimum size.
umount /mnt
resize2fs -M a.img
4) Save a.img into your source tree, or whatever.
5) For each system that you want to install this on, assuming that
/dev/mmc is your device with the mmc:
dd if=a.img of=/dev/mmc bs=32k
resize2fs /dev/mmc
tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/mmc
You're done!
Before you try this I recommend you read through each man pages for
mke2fs, resize2fs, tune2fs, and dd so you completely understand what
all of the options are, and why it works.
