Disk benchmark does not work

[David Balažic]

When I try to run a benchmark on one of mz HDDs I get an error dialog saying:

An error occurred
Error seeking to offset 2147483648 (g-io-error-quark, 13)

The benchmark in Ubuntu 12.04 works fine.

There are no related messages in kernel log, so it is probably a bug in the benchmark app.

Same error message is given when trying to create a partition image from inside gnome-disk-utility.
