The volume "fd" has only 0, bytes disk space remaining

[sashaK]

I'm running:

:; uname -a
FreeBSD localhost 9.0-RC1 FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 #0: Tue Oct 18 18:30:38 UTC 2011     root@obrian.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

The version of gnome I have is 2.32.1.

After adding this to my /etc/fstab:

fdescfs        /dev/fd        fdescfs rw    0    0

I've been getting the error message below.

Low Disk Space

 The volume "fd" has only 0
 bytes disk space remaining.

 You can free up disk space by removing unused programs
 or files, or by moving files to another disk or partition.

 [ ] Don't show any warnings again for this filesystem

                                      [Examine...] [Ignore]

Clicking on [Examine...] then makes Baobab appear and displays a message which says:

 Could not initialise monitoring

 Changes to your home folder will not be monitored.

                                              [OK]

Clicking [OK] causes Baobab to be displayed which says:

 Folder    Usage        Size    Contents
 fd    ###########100%    0 bytes    0 items

Is there a fix for that?

Thanks.

Obvious fix is not to monitor virtual file systems like /dev/fd for available space. It's just silly.

Thanks for your reply. How to I disk usage analyzer monitoring /dev/fd? I poked around the preferences and couldn't find anything to disable it.

thanks.

The obvious solution would be to check

[x]Don't show any warnings again for this filesystem

and then click on Ignore. Seems to work here.

that helped thanks;
as a side note, according to one of the freebsd-gnome developers, this problem should be fixed in the latest glib20;
