Dear EPEL, I am coming from the "community": Scientific Linux 6.3, 64 bit. Would one of our intrepid heroes please fix this for me? Currently in our version of gparted (0.6.0), on fat32 flash drives, the labeling utility converts labels to all upper case. This is reported and solved by the following gparted bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625337 Currently, the only way I have to get lower case letters in labels is to reformat the drive: # mkfs.vfat -n MyCDs /dev/sdc1 I would really like to be able to change my labels without having to reformat. As stated in the above gparted bug report, to solve this will require us to upgrade to GParted 0.11.0. Would one of our heroes please re-spin this for us/me? (Fedora 17 is currently on 0.11 if you need a SRPM.) Many thanks, -T $ rpm -qi gparted Name : gparted Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 0.6.0 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 1.el6 Build Date: Thu 01 Jul 2010 05:45:31 AM PDT Install Date: Fri 03 Jun 2011 08:52:34 PM PDT Build Host: x86-06.phx2.fedoraproject.org Group : Applications/System Source RPM: gparted-0.6.0-1.el6.src.rpm Size : 3598093 License: GPLv2+ Signature : RSA/8, Thu 01 Jul 2010 01:57:06 PM PDT, Key ID 3b49df2a0608b895 Packager : Fedora Project URL : http://gparted.sourceforge.net Summary : Gnome Partition Editor
Would you guys please update this! It is such a pain in the neck to have to reformat your sticks every time you want to change a label or lose all your work so you can boot a Fedora Live CD!
