I found out that it was just looking at / and not the partition itself. So I apologise for posting it here as it's obviously not a bug in my case.

[Bug 425405] Re: Low disk space notification is a little useless
I received a popup saying I had only 1.3GB free space on my disk when in fact I had almost 30GB of free space. How can this be? Does the file system actually have a limit as to how many files it can contain or how many bytes/Mbytes/Gbytes it can have in it? If this is the case then I consider this a major bug. Looks like I can only post 1 attachment so I will follow this with the Disk Usage Analyzer Screen shot ** Attachment added: Warning popup http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39368386/Screenshot-Low%20Disk%20Space.png -- Low disk space notification is a little useless https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 425405] Re: Low disk space notification is a little useless
This isn't really the appropriate place to ask for support, and g-s-d probably isn't doing anything wrong in your case. It calculates the free space remaining after calling statvfs on the particular volume, so you probably really are running low on disk space. Please post the output of df -h so I can tell. And yes, filesystems do have limitations on how many files / folders can be stored, and how large the partition size can be etc. Those aren't bugs though, but rather limitations of the file system structure (eg, FAT32 has a maximum file size of 4GB and maximum partition size of 2TB).

[Bug 425405] Re: Low disk space notification is a little useless
This is gnome-settings-daemon which displays this warning. It's currently designed to poll your disk once per minute, and will display a warning when free space gets to less than 5% and 2GB, and then display further warnings each time the space decreases by another 1% if at least 10 minutes passed since the last warning. Are you saying that this 10 minutes delay should be adjusted? ** Package changed: ubuntu = gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Low disk space notification is a little useless https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 425405] Re: Low disk space notification is a little useless
Ah, I see. Perhaps, then, the additional intermediate warnings are not required. However, I cannot think why it would not want to notify about the filesystem being completely full as soon as it noticed. -- Low disk space notification is a little useless https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
