Powered_Up_Time is measured from power on, and printed as
DDd+hh:mm:SS.sss where DD=days, hh=hours, mm=minutes,
SS=sec, and sss=millisec. It "wraps" after 49.710 days.

Error 65535 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 22454 hours (935 days + 14 hours)
  When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.

Selective self-test flags (0x0):

If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.

Let’s try a short test:

$ sudo smartctl -t short /dev/ada0
smartctl 6.4 2015-06-04 r4109 [FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE-p9 amd64] (local build)

=== START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION ===
Sending command: "Execute SMART Short self-test routine immediately in off-line mode".
Drive command "Execute SMART Short self-test routine immediately in off-line mode" successful.
Testing has begun.
Please wait 1 minutes for test to complete.
Test will complete after Sun Feb 14 16:52:31 2016

Use smartctl -X to abort test.
$ 

I ran smartctl -a /dev/ada0 again and saw this:

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

Waiting a bit longer, and I saw:

Self-test execution status:      (   0)	The previous self-test routine completed
					without error or no self-test has ever 
					been run.

Then I ran the long test:

$ sudo smartctl -t long /dev/ada0
smartctl 6.4 2015-06-04 r4109 [FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE-p9 amd64] (local build)

I think my next blog update is at least 7 hours away.
