It gives an error telling the user that a problem occured, though does not
specify exactly what, I don't know how to detect the exact error anyhow.
The way I tested it is to fill a partition completely by using the
command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test.file
This will fill the drive completely (make sure to run it as a user and NOT
AS ROOT, root has some space reserved for his use).
