Summary:                    cp does not work with /dev files
Description: 
I have upgraded to 1.6.1 and noticed that when I want to copy an image to a
device node (a block device), cp was basically overwriting the device file
with an actual copy of the image, instead of copying it to the device.
This issue is not present on v1.4.0, cp works fine with /dev nodes
