From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

tomb looks like a nice wrapper around LUKS but it doesn't appear to support creating a sparse file, so, it will immediately use however much space you allocate to it.
(I think it doesn't support a sparse backing file because I searched the word "sparse" on their github, and for the word "seek" (which is the
ddargument for creating a sparse file) in the tomb bash script, and both searches yielded no results.)
