I also confirm that this is still a problem in 14.04.1. Although in my case it started to be a problem recently.
I had two partitions excluded already from popping those messages and they were quiet. But for some reason when I reached low disk space on another partition they also started to bug me with low disk space messages. The curious thing is that if I check "Don't show any warnings again for this file system" and then press "Ignore" the messages will display endlessly for all the partitions with low disk space. But if I just click "Ignore" for the first partition that display low disk space dialog then I won't get any more such messages (it will end on that one). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881376 Title: "Low disk space" warning popping up repeatedly. Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: On Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot. Since that upgrade, I repeatedly get the warning "Low Disk Space" "The volume "..." has only [..] MB disk space remaining. This is for a few Windows partitions on a multiboot machine, which I mount by default on Linux startup. The problem: - I could not care less about disk space on these partitions, while on Linux. I want to take care of them while on Windows. - The dialog is showing up repeatedly for the same disk. - It's a disruptive popup dialog, instead of being a more subtle bubble notification (this is being discussed in a feature request somewhere on launchpad). - The "Don't show any warnings again for this file system" does not have any effect. Yes, it does change a setting somewhere in system settings, but the popup will show up nevertheless. - Trying to change the threshold or the exclude directories via system settings did not help either. - I did not find how to uninstall or disable this new "feature". This is just one of the many things that make the new 11.10 a horrible experience for me.
