Hi, I'm also affected by this bug, on a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot.
In my case, I use a bunch of LVM2 logical volumes to store my files. Each volume holds a "collection" of related files, so its size intentionally fits its contents as close as possible : in order words, most of my logical volumes intentionally have as few free space as possible. If I need more space in a "collection", I extend the corresponding logical volume. If I need to store a new "collection" of related files, I create a new logical volume. Those logical volumes are all specified in my /etc/fstab : as you can see, this warning can quickly get *very* annoying, as it pops up for every single collection I have. The following gconf settings don't have any effect : - /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/housekeeping/active => setting to 0 doesn't prevent the dialog to appear - /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/housekeeping/free_size_gb_no_notify => the granularity is too large (it is an integer, not a float) - /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/housekeeping/ignore_paths => correctly filled, but no effect : in my case, this setting would be the most useful, since I still want to be informed for "normal" file systems. -- 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: Confirmed 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.
