[pve-devel] [PATCH installer 3/4] fetch-answer: partition: also search for exact-matching partition label

[Christoph Heiss]

While some filesystems - such as FAT(32) - might not supported/allow
mixed-case labels, some implementations still handle them correctly,
such as Linux. Thus, also search for that variant.
