Duplicate serial numbers with USB harddisks? (dfly 3.0.3)

Dear list,

I just put Dragonfly 3.0.3 on a spare box and at first connected a single USB
HDD to it. After a while I connected two others (of the same type; different
from the first one) and now I found this in dmesg output:

umass1: <HitachiGST SimpleDrive III by Hitachi, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 2> on uhub6

da10: Serial Number 801130168383


Might this be a bug?

Is there any chance this will impact me in operation of the system, dealing with
disk devices, filesystems etc?

Best regards
Thomas
