Hi there!
I was getting alerts from smart telling me that /dev/ada1 has 8 bad sectors, so I ran an extended smart test (smartctl -t long /dev/ada1) in order to find the LBA of the bad sectors. But the result of the extended test came back as follows:
You can see that there are 8 sectors marked as "Offline_Uncorrectable" / "Current_Pending_Sector" but none of the extended offline tests shows "LBA_of_first_error". How is that possible?

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.
You can see that there are 8 sectors marked as "Offline_Uncorrectable" / "Current_Pending_Sector" but none of the extended offline tests shows "LBA_of_first_error". How is that possible?
