Title:
  SD format operation crashes if volume label is more than 11 characters
  long

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

  I did a format on a 2GB SD card by right clicking on the SD card icon
  and selecting format, under FAT windows/linux compatible file system
  settings.  It then asks you what you'd like the volume label to be -
  if you type in anything over 11 characters, the process then errors
  out - but with an error message which does not hint to the user that
  the real problem is their length volume label.

  A good fix may be to limit the label max length on the input field, or
  to give a more helpful error message.
