Thanks devs for smartmontools! I've benefited from it for many many years.
Question: Does it make any sense for a drive to support self-test but
not self-test log?
I run:
# smartctl -t long /dev/sda
smartctl 6.6 2016-05-31 r4324 [x86_64-linux-4.15.0-38-generic] (local
build)

=== START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION ===
Sending command: "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately
in off-line mode".
Drive command "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in
off-line mode" successful.
Testing has begun.
Please wait 48 minutes for test to complete.
Test will complete after Wed Nov 7 16:59:46 2018
Looks good.
# smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda

SMART Self-test Log not supported
The drive is Corsair Force GT. Smartctl says SMART is enabled...
Happy to put dumps of anything on pastebin.
