[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1423668] [NEW] Unable to set scsi drive serial if it contains spaces.

[Alan Latteri]

Public bug reported:

I am virtualzing a physical server for which I need to set the SCSI/SATA
drive serial.  It is comprised of 12 " " spaces then 8 letter/digits.
If I exclude the spaces, the drive serial is not accurate.  If I include
the spaces I get the following error.

error: Failed to start domain test1
error: internal error: driver serial '            ABCD1234' contains unsafe 
characters
