"storeio --store-type=part 1:device:hd0" apparently supports
file_get_storage_info and reports the partition boundaries there,
so the I/O would not have to go through the storeio translator.

libstore/encode.c (too_big) has a comment saying "The RPC
protocol uses 32-bit off_t's" but that is false since 2002.
