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.

Title:
  Bad user experience choosing partition labels

Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
