Sadly, while some of the ioctls require write access, at least some IDE drives
fail to open for write: With the change in -2ubuntu2, my ide drive fails on the
added open call. From strace:
open("/dev/hdc", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EROFS (Read-only file system)
Changing the open call to O_RDONLY gets us back to the place where burning
works, but requires root.

That feels like a bug in the IDE driver...

I think growisofs wants to do the dup in the case where the open fails EROFS.
