This seems to be very orphaned, but I'm going to ping it again as well: There is the note to "Please back up important data before using the write benchmark.", but it's not clear if that's a "we *will* delete your data" warning, or a "we *might* delete your data, but we'll try not to."
Some clarity on this, and even better an ability to do non-destructive write testing on mounted partitions, would be very good. As it is, I'm certainly not going to run the write benchmark... -- 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..
