ran the smartctl -l, waited 2 hours, got this:
=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num  Test_Description    Status                  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  
LBA_of_first_error
# 1  Extended offline    Completed without error       00%       456         -
# 2  Short offline       Completed without error       00%       434         -

so, I will insert a cron job weekly ( per FAQ) and monitor.. I did have a 
power blip yesterday, so, who knows, maybe it was just a transient error.
