    Error creating a Custom Image for Raspberry Pi

    I'm trying to build a custom image for my Raspberry Pi. I've got my arm-stuff folder following theese instructions
    http://docs.kali.org/armel-armhf/kali-linux-arm-chroot
    All seems to be ok, but when I try to build the img file with dd, cannot write it...

    root@kali:~/arm-stuff/images# dd if=/dev/zero of=kali-custom-rpi.img bs=1MB count=5000
    dd: writing 'kali-custom-rpi.img': No space left on device
    13+0 records in
    12+0 records out
    12935168 bytes (13 MB) copied, 1.54371 s, 8.4 MB/s
    root@kali:~/arm-stuff/images#

    After that anything works...I'm following the specific instructions of kali-book to build an image for the rspberry pi and I'm using an sd with 64Gb...don't know what I'm doing wrong...

    I suggest that you double check your DD command. It doesn't look like your writing to your SD card, which is why you are running out of space...

    Thanks for the answer g0tmi1k, but I really don't understand, maybe because I don't understand what I'm doing with the DD command. When I run DD, I get a file called kali-custom-rpi.img on the "images" folder, and there is where it has to be written. But don't wants to work. When you say that I have to double check my DD command, what do you mean...? Do you mean that I have tochange "/dev/zero/" for the drive where is mounted the sd card? I've run a fdisk -l and my SD card is on "mcblk0". Maybe the DDcommsnd it has to be "dd if=/dev/mcblk0 of=kali-custom-rpi.img bs=1MB count=5000" . I'm really noob with that and don't understand so many things...
