Hi!

Well, maybe the description should be changed from "test fails" to "test
fails with a nasty trace" :)

I agree that it we can't write, then we can't write, and just changing
this so that the test exits gracefully with "no writable partitions on
the device" would be quite acceptable.

However, in that case, the test should at least try reading an existing
file from the device. If we can read, we know the USB bus is
transferring data correctly.

The point is to test the USB bus's storage and transfer capability any
way we can, otherwise this will become one of those "I don't know either
way, so I'll just ignore it" tests.
