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.
