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).

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.
