I have no clue, or I had no clue whether it was destructive or not. I still don't know.
Actually it seems to have just wiped my partition table. There was a GPT partition table on there and .... it is gone. It tells you to back up your data but that is a warning given by many programs that are not destructive in the slightest (except if you mess up). So why doesn't it just tell you it will destroy stuff? It might just as well write and then write back the original data, or actually write the original data in the first place, we can't tell. -- 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/728525 Title: benchmark window is not descriptive enough Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility This is a bug about Benchmark utility in gnome-disk-utility. There is no warning / info if read / write tests are destructive or safe to be used on a live system. Green lines and dots at the bottom are confusing to the user and don't tell the user what they mean. Also , It would be awesome if there was some way that this info could be sent back to some database at ubuntu and users can see and compare what other users are getting..
