OSX doesn't support sparse files...

  It does, just not at the HFS+ layer. Sparse bundles are the functional equivalent at the Vitual file system layer and are used by Time Machine and are useable by developers or via the CLI. Sparse images are entire virtual volumes and are used for FileVault. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_image https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_image

      As I was saying, that's implemented above HFS+

    To clarify: FileVault on 10.6 and earlier; current FileVault is FDE.
