[Bug 306003] Re: smartctl short test hangs at 90%

I can confirm this bug as well.

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal

Self-test execution status: ( 249) Self-test routine in progress...
90% of test remaining.

Appears to be common for WD shucked drives.
Ran across it on my wd 8 TB HDD WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0 (FW ver. 83.H0A83)
Some via CLI finished the smart test, some are hung, the ubuntu disk manager did not complete its scans either.
