Sample output from diskinfo -v

I noticed this in one of our shell scripts when it suddenly appended
%20%20%20%20 to the glabel. My workaround for the time being is piping the
output to tr -d '[:blank:]' before inserting it into the glabel.

It seems that the Samsung SSD 870 pads the identifier with spaces to make it
equal in length to it's description.

But the point being is that diskinfo in my opinion should strip trailing spaces
(and maybe leading spaces too). This to make the output as clean as it could
be.

And yes, I will make our own scripts clean the input too.
