Description of problem: 1) Not setting label via mkfs.fat and reading label w/dosfslabel yields string "NO NAME" but documentation says default is no label. So, either documentation is wrong or dosfslabel prefers returning "NO NAME" to returning an empty string, which is wrong, because "NO NAME" may be legitimate label and it is not the same as no label. 2) If I set label to "start" via mkfs.fat and I read the label via dosfslabel the result is "START", i.e., capitalized. But, if I set the label via dosfslabel to "an fs", and I read the label via dosfslabel the result is "an fs", i.e., not capitalized. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installed w/ yum, so here's the yum info.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
