[smartmontools-support] Lowest Fixed Version? Long test never finishes on WDC WD40NMZW-11GX6S1

[ItAint MeBabe]

I'm using an old version of smartctl ("smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841
[x86_64-linux-3.13.0-142-generic] (local build)"  - this is what's
current on Ubuntu 14.04)

I am wondering if there is a newer version that addresses this issue,
and if so, what version this was fixed in?  I'm hoping to find that on
a Live Linux disk somewhere.

I see this model,  WDC WD40NMZW-11GX6S1 listed in the latest
drivedb.h, line 3865.

This is similar to issue reported in:

https://listi.jpberlin.de/pipermail/smartmontools-support/2017-December/000064.html

The short test works fine in about 2 minutes.  The long test always
says it's 90% remaining, and although the estimated time is 43
minutes, the test still has 90% remaining after 8 hours.

(The WDC Windows tool estimates 160 hours - but I believe that it is
*not* doing the actual S.M.ART test, because it is continuously
reading 7MB/s from the drive.  It might be qucker if I wasn't using it
thorugh USB 2 in a Windows VM, but as I said, it's not even a SMART
test.)

My current version of smartmontools;
