why not setting up the encrypted device&filesystem and filling it with
random data afterwars?
you could copy your files to the device and fill the rest with files
dumped from /dev/urandom (each 100mb)
so you can work (except from the cpu and disk load from the dumping
process) and have the zeros wiped from you unencrypted device?

so, is there any security reason why not filling the partition with
random data afterwars?

thanks
