Intel SSD 320: erase fail count and test values

Hi!

Regarding some discussion on dm-crypt and trimming on SSD on BTRFS
mailing list I looked at some SMART values¹:

This numbers appear to be complete guess work.

After two -t short and one -t long – the last one still in progress
although smartctl said it would take only one minute - I got:

SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num  Test_Description    Status                  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  LBA_of_first_error
# 1  Vendor (0x78)       Completed without error       150%      2444         -
# 2  Reserved (0x88)     Completed without error       00%      2444         -
# 3  Vendor (0x90)       Completed without error       00%      2444         -
# 4  Vendor (0xe0)       Completed without error       00%      2444         -
# 5  Vendor (0xd8)       Completed without error       00%       271         -
# 6  Vendor (0xd8)       Completed without error       00%       271         -
# 7  Vendor (0xa8)       Completed without error       00%       324         -

Remaining 150% also doesn´t look correct.
