I have an NFS drive mapped in Ubuntu 11.10 using autofs which automatically mounts a drive on every boot. But if I use the Gnome Shell interface, a pop up notification keeps popping up from the bottom-centre of the screen saying the name of the mapped drive and an Eject option.

It pops up about every 5 minutes even though the NFS drive is already always mounted. Any way to stop this?

Per this discussion on the Ubuntu Forums, install dconf-tools and then run the dconf editor (a launcher installed to "System Tools" on my machine).

Navigate to org > gnome > desktop > media-handling and then check the "autorun-never" box. Then simply close the dconf editor.
