More seriously: If the benefit of the rsync approach is only to increase the number of inodes, perhaps the original mke2fs could be run with the -N option to increase the number of inodes to something reasonable for both 2GB and 10GB.

The truncate method certainly seems like it would be faster than the rsync.
