@mcc @ForitusCharlotte nah I'm just joshing about a much-worse-case setup. Especially considering that Mr. Bcachefs is a vibe coder.

@rotopenguinROTOPE~1 @ForitusCharlotte Okay.

Assuming I understand these things in principle but not in detail and am looking for actual help— used to, when I used macs, I could create a "Sparse Bundle Disk Image" and it was like a hard drive in a file, which could grow and and shrink returning space to the host disk as it shrank, and could be encrypted, and could be compressed. Is this a thing I can do from Linux? What's the best way? (Assume for this one question I don't care about Windows.)
