Can I configure pacman to ignore NFS mounts during CheckSpace?

The "CheckSpace" option is enabled in my /etc/pacman.conf file, apparently by default.  This is good, except that it recently caused pacman to hang because of irrelevant NFS mounts to offline hosts.

I don't ever install any packages on NFS mounts, so I would like CheckSpace to never even look at them to avoid problems in the future.

I don't see a way to do this.  Is there one?

pacman 4.1 should fix this problem, in the mean time, I don't think there's anything you can do.

EDIT: besides manually patching pacman.
