Look at the pacman output fragment:
...
(3/3) loading package files [############################################################################] 100%
(3/3) checking for file conflicts [############################################################################] 100%
warning: could not get filesystem information for /wrk/nas/media: No such file or directory
(3/3) checking available disk space [############################################################################] 100%
(1/3) upgrading...
/wrk/nas/media is cifs mounted by autofs. NAS was rebooting at the monent pacman was doing upgrade. At such moments (mount point is unavailable) pacman hangs beore "warning: could not get.." message during rather long timeout. Why? What does it want from absolutely alien (not system in any sense) directory?

Do you have symlinks or bind-mounts to your nas somewhere in the system-paths?

Yes, this option is on. But this fact doesn't answer the question

Pacman 4.0 scans all mounted file systems, with 4.1 that will change.

Thanks for the clarification!

I'd figure pacman didn't care what it was writing to the filesystem. It's job is to load package databases, download the packages and then install them.

^ There's no point trying to install something if the partition it's installing to doesn't have enough free space for the extracted packages. Better to check that before you start, rather than 99 packages into a 100 package operation.

I didn't mean the check disk space, I meant as to the general function of pacman.
