... otherwise the user just ends up with a "Device is busy" error dialog, see e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879840 and elsewhere. Also, if a write-benchmark is requested, try to ensure the device is not used (by e.g. unmounting filesystems, locking encrypted devices).

Solution tested in Rawhide (F19) and I still get the error when executing write test on mounted disk. Better would be info message that the test is not possible on mounted drive instead of error message.

Rawhide (F19) doesn't have this yet.
