[Natty] Cannot rename FAT32 volume (USB Key)

[Swâmi Petaramesh]

Binary package hint: nautilus

In Nautilus, right-clicking the name of an USB key (FS mountpoint) gives an option to get a "properties" page. This properties pages holds a place where the FS name is displayed and can be changed. Anyway, typing anything there always produces an error message stating that the FS is busy an operation cannot complete.

Hi,

I have tried the same steps with a 1GB thumb drive formatted to FAT32 and the error I get is:

Sorry, could not rename "USB Flash Disk: 1.0 GB File system" to "wedwedwedwedw": Operation not supported by backend

Is this the same message you get, or do you get a different one?
