Does this SMART result indicates a failing drive?

[junior466]

I've read the guide here and it appears that my results show that things are okay but this part says otherwise:

Code:

SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num  Test_Description    Status                  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  LBA_of_first_error

Selective self-test flags (0x0):
  After scanning selected spans, do NOT read-scan remainder of disk.
If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.

It all started with the following email alert:

Device: /dev/da6 [SAT], Self-Test Log error count increased from 1 to 3

So than I ran a long test and the above is the output.

Thank you.

Failing SMART self-tests are a sure sign of a failing drive. They also justify an RMA if the drive is still under warranty (which I'd expect this one is).
