There is an impact of the script, that queries the status of the smart test; look at the output:

Telcontar:~/tmp/disk2 # YottamasterLongtest /dev/sdf
smartctl 7.4 2023-08-01 r5530 [x86_64-linux-6.4.0-150600.23.42-default] (SUSE RPM)

=== 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 108 minutes for test to complete.
Test will complete after Sat Apr  5 15:15:23 2025 CEST
Use smartctl -X to abort test.

2025-04-05 16:49:57+02:00 	 # 1  Extended offline    Completed without error       00%      3992         -
Test ended.
Telcontar:~/tmp/disk2 #


Instead of finishing at 15:15:23. it did at 16:49:57. It took more than one hour longer. So I'll change the delay to 8 minutes.

Cheers, Carlos.
