Description Florian Neukirchen 2012-01-26 19:57:56 UTC 
Everytime I log in, I have to click away the notification about my external hard drive. Please don't show notifications of drives that are already attached during login.

I think this was discussed when support for removable devices was added, but I don't remember the arguments, and I can't find the relevant bug report now.

It's annoying that the notification happens.
It's worse that the actions presented by the notification are limited, and the notification seems to be very persistent.

Re lack of timeout / persistent behaviour, Bug #665761 is vaguely similar.
Comment 4 Allan Day 2013-03-02 13:08:18 UTC 
I'm pretty sure that we had a different bug for this and that it got fixed. Please let us know if the bug is still occuring in GNOME 3.6.x (or, even better, 3.7.x).
