Are you sure that's a reasonable thing to do? It seems that the size
variable should accurately reflect the size of the device at that moment,
and if it doesn't who's to say that won't cause other side effects in the
grok_partitions and related code in the future? Seems a bit risky to me,
"overloading" this variable to make sure that the devfs code works in the
way we all want it to.
