[Launchpad Bug Tracker <881376@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

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.
