I can report the same issue in Lubuntu 14.04 32 bit:trying to benchmark my SSD fails after few seconds with the message: #benchmark error (read only)# Error seeking to offset 2329718784 (g-io-error-quark, 13)
Interestingly,I've tried with a live CD of Lucid 10.04 and it can perform the read-only benchmark,can't tell about the read & write benchmark because the SSD is already partitioned. On a side note,I also can't run self-tests on this disk with Lubuntu,even if it SMART data are apparently available in Disk Utilit,I'm getting this error message: #disk self-test error# sk_disk_smart_self_test: Operation not supported (udisks-error-quark, 0) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081019 Title: Benchmark for Harddisk fail Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I can not benchmark any harddisk I have.
