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.



Or graphical tool can be used for that (in terminal "palimpsest",program title "Disk Utility",under "SMART data"):







I don't know way it says "Good"?
There is definitely nothing good about that!
It generally means - make a backup fast!

Unfortunately I unable to find applet or tool to notify about this type of errors.
I have to periodically check my self.
In the future I will fix this inconvenience!
