Bug Description

I'm experiencing a very annoying bug: I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 now on my personal "file server" (the bug was present in 12.04, too):
This file server uses several disk partitions to store some Truecrypt container files that span across almost the entire volume. So a few of my disk partitions are in fact almost full. That's why Ubuntu/Unity shows a dialog for each effected volume. I can confirm these dialogs, but the messages appear again and again every ~2 minutes. There is an option to disable theses warnings for the corresponding volume, but this setting has no effect.

Function of this setting is very important for me - I don't need these warnings, because I don't store any additional files on these volumes. And because the warnings come so often and because there are several warnings at a time, I cannot use Ubuntu at all, because I'm busy closing these warnings most of the time...
