Same with checkbox 0.8.6 in Karmic

when I run the diskcheck script from the command line I get:

woon...@tpnwjs:/usr/share/checkbox/scripts$ ./disk_bench_test 
/dev/sda: Permission denied

looks like it needs to be run as root, or have hdparm setuid root

Running the same scritpt as root does this:

woon...@tpnwjs:/usr/share/checkbox/scripts$ sudo ./disk_bench_test
