Ubuntu often warn me about low space left on `/home`

gb flag

I have partitions (located on different disk) mounted as /home/USER folder. Ubuntu often warn me about low space left on /home.

Is there a way to prevent Ubuntu count these external mounted directory as space taken on /home ?

Thank you

If you are using a Gnome-based distribution, then you can exclude specific directories from the low-storage notification via dconf-editor. Here's how:

  1. Open dconf Editor: Open dconf Editor
  2. Search for housekeeping and double-click "Ignore Paths": dconf Editor - Ignore Paths
  3. Add the directories you wish to exclude from the space calculation by adding them to the text box: dconf Editor - Path Entry Note: Be sure to use the full path and wrap it in a single quote. This needs to be written as an array of strings.
  4. Press "Apply" and close dconf Editor

Be careful not to exclude your entire home directory, as a full disk may prevent you from logging in.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
