Thanks for providing the first real world test case for the '-l defects' 
option. This new ATA feature is still not widely supported and therefore 
devices with non-empty logs are rare.

The output looks reasonable under the assumption that the disk capacity 
is at least 8TB. The empty "Hours" column is OK as this info is optional.

Is the raw value of SMART attribute 197 (or 198) identical to the count 
of listed pending defects?

Thanks,
Christian
