SNIPPET

Next scheduled self tests (at most 5 of each type per device):
Device: /dev/sda, will do test 1 of type S at Thu Nov 13 06:13:13 2008 GMT
Device: /dev/sdb, will do test 1 of type S at Thu Nov 13 06:13:13 2008 GMT
Device: /dev/sda, will do test 1 of type L at Thu Nov 13 15:13:13 2008 GMT
Device: /dev/sdb, will do test 1 of type L at Thu Nov 13 15:13:13 2008 GMT
