My hdd is full and i've decided to redirect /opt via symlink to another drive. Worked for months so far (reading). But i've noticed when installing new packages to /opt like RomVault(AUR) pacman is not able to write to the folder anymore (unless i change the symlink back to regular folder).
How can i fix this? Why is the symlink not transparent to pacman?

Thanks. Will use bind mounts then. Didn't know symlinks are not 100% transparent.
