v2: avoid truncating regular file destination
v3: change minimum block size from 512 to 4k, to avoid unaligned
RMW cycles on newer disks with 4k sectors
Okay, I've finally gotten around to trying this out, and in addition to
reducing the file size, it also works!
ACK
(Note: I haven't tested saving to a block device, so I'm taking the word
of the dd documentation that this works as well ;-)
