View Full Version : [SOLVED] FAT32 Label is Always Caps..

Yeah, I've been messing around with my partitions recently to make them more organized and appealing to my OCD file management habits.

My main partition that I use to store all my files and windows programs on was previously labeled "Free" since I installed Ubuntu a few weeks ago and created separate partitions for things, I didn't like the vagueness of the name, so I changed it to "Storage" via GParted Partition Editor.

Yet, for some reason it always changes its self to all capital letters. I label it "Storage", it becomes "STORAGE". I've researched around for others who have similar issues, but they usually ended up with a response similar to "It's Fat32, so it's always capital." I don't see how that's true, considering mine was labeled "Free" for the longest time..

So basically, does anyone know how to relabel Fat32 partitions to include both upper and lower case characters?

man dosfslabel

That will set mixed case, report the gparted problem as a bug.

The original DOS volume labels were indeed uppercase only.

Then is there a way to force Ubuntu to make a mount directory in /media in all lower case instead of upper?
