Bad user experience choosing partition labels

[Chris Graham]

For FAT partitions, labels have to be upper case.

FAT is the default for a new partition, but the default example label is mixed case.
This means just going on recommendation, it's not going to work out, and the user will get an error message.

A better user experience would be to simply tell the user that their label will be made upper case, and ask them to confirm with yes/no. Or just do it without asking TBH because I think upper-casing it by default is a pretty harmless thing.

Thank you for your bug report, that's an upstream issue and should be reported to them on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-disk-utility/issues , could you do that?

In which Ubuntu and gnome-disks-utility version are you running? Gnome disks does not give me an error message when formatting a FAT32 partition with the labels being lower case. Tried mixed case, and all lower case. None of them gave me an error message. Tested in Ubuntu Eoan Ermine with gnome-disks-utility 3.32.1-1ubuntu1.

I can't reproduce anymore either :(. I wish I kept a record of the exact error message. I just grepped through so many packages to try and source the error and couldn't find anything.
