Using a tar archive with "mkfs.ext4 -d" to populate the ext4 filesystem
Published: April 7, 2025
Link: https://gist.github.com/NoteAfterNote/65a139ce70cbf27c4875aaaee0e779cc
"Copy the contents of the given directory or tarball into the root directory of the file system. Tarball input is only available if mke2fs was compiled with libarchive support enabled and if the libarchive shared library is available at run-time. The special value "-" will read a tarball from standard input."

fsck.ext4: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open test.image5
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
