size should be 'o' instead of 'l'. The latter may be too small on 32 bit
hosts and doesn't support convenient suffixes:
* 'l' target long (32 or 64 bit)
* 'o' octets (aka bytes)
* user mode accepts an optional T, t, G, g, M, m, K, k
* suffix, which multiplies the value by 2^40 for
* suffixes T and t, 2^30 for suffixes G and g, 2^20 for
* M and m, 2^10 for K and k

Hm, is there a real reason except that CD-ROMs are read-only? The code
below seems to take read-only devices into account.
