Title:
  Palimpsest does not escape label string before passing it to mkfs.ext4

Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Formatting a volume in Disk Utility allows you to set a label.
  However, these user-supplied labels are not escaped and can cause
  problems with the mkfs.ext4 command. Labels with double-quotes or
  backslashes cause problems, such as:

  \/\/\/\/\
  "."."."

  They present the error such as:

  Error creating filesystem
  An error occurred while performing an operation on "GLaDOS" (Partition 1 of TOSHIBA TransMemory): Filesystem tools not installed
  Details: Error creating file system: Cannot run mkfs: cannot spawn 'mkfs.ext4 -F  -L "\/\/\/\/\" -F  -F  /dev/sde1': Text ended before matching quote was found for ". (The text was 'mkfs.ext4 -F  -L "\/\/\/\/\" -F  -F  /dev/sde1')
