Bug Description
palimpsest appends to the name of FAT partitions "nA" if the original name is longer then 7 characters thus it is not possible to give a FAT partition a clean name of 8-10 characters.
1. choose a FAT partition
2. change it's name to "12345678"
3. watch how "nA" gets appended to the above name.

It does not happen when formatting a new FAT partition only when renaming an existing partition.
