Hi, hope this is the right subforum.
First, pacman doesn't directly mount any partition. My partition, located at /dev/sdb1, is automounted if somenone request access to /media/datengrab. Fstab-entry looks like this:
/dev/sdb1 /media/datengrab ext4 noauto,noexec,x-systemd.automount 0 2
The funny thing is, every time pacman checks the available disc space, this partition is mounted. The question is: why? Software is never installed under /media, so accessing /media is not needed. Maybe this is a bug? (Or, better question: How can pacman avoid to access /media?)
Hope someone can help or explain why pacman is accessing /media.
Thanks in advance

Because the diskspace checking behavior in 4.0.x is quite naive. I fixed this a while ago so that only the mount points being written to will be actually checked. Stay tuned for pacman 4.1.

Cool, so i have only to wait until pacman 4.1 is released.
So, double thanks (for your reply and for fixing the issue )
