+       CAM will now strip leading spaces from SCSI disks' serial numbers.
+       This will effect users who create UFS filesystems on SCSI disks using
+       those disk's diskid device nodes.  For example, if /etc/fstab
+       previously contained a line like
+       "/dev/diskid/DISK-%20%20%20%20%20%20%20ABCDEFG0123456", you should
+       change it to "/dev/diskid/DISK-ABCDEFG0123456".  Users of geom
+       transfers like gmirror may also be affected.  ZFS users should
+       generally be fine.

Thank you. That was driving me NUTS. It made the diskid tables look horrible.
