Found something strange today…

@manuel ? 
It is not universal - here’s a screenshot from a minute ago…

I’m using the new iso, all packages updated, and FS BTRFS…
fstab only has sda entries… no nvme or sdb drives were ever mounted in this system…
So I really don’t know what could have happened here…
$ lsblk

sda 8:0 0 223,6G 0 disk

├─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 465,1G 0 part
└─nvme0n1p4 259:4 0 518M 0 part
You found the easter egg surprise!
I think I understood now, it’s showing my NAS drives… they are mounted in fstab, thus it’s showing there in pacman cache cleaner
Checked the file: /usr/bin/paccache-service-manager to understand how it works, and found this in line 76:

Btw, I have two 2TB hard drives in my NAS working as one for redundancy, so it’s only 2TB space, which matches what is showing in the paccache-service-manager
/etc/fstab
# NAS entries
//mynas/folder1 /mnt/folder1 cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.mount-timeout=30,_netdev,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/path_to_credentials/file,iocharset=utf8,vers=3.0 0 0

I didn’t remove the fstab entries to confirm if this is really what’s happening…
Yes, that is it…
[myuser@eos ~]$ sudo umount /mnt/folder4

That’s not very “terminal centric” 
sudo pacman -S pacman-contrib
sudo systemctl enable --now paccache.timer
You could edit both paccache.timer and paccache.service to set the desired parameters.
Personally, I just run paccache manually and not that periodically. That’s “terminal centric” 
terminal centric, it’s the best place to learn…
learned a little bit today
Since it’s only a cosmetic issue, I’ll just ignore it, the settings are set correctly in the service and timer despite of the fact that it shows the NAS drives there…
paccache.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/paccache -rk2
paccache.timer
OnCalendar=weekly
Interesting find!
Could you please show the output of commands (using the mounts that show this issue)
/usr/bin/df -h/usr/bin/lsblk -fmHopefully that helps me fix it.
Note that the full path in the commands is necessary to guarantee the exactly right commands (no aliases etc.).
Me too.
alias pcd='paccache -dvk 2'
alias pcr='paccache -rvk 2'
alias pcdu='paccache -dvuk 0'
alias pcru='paccache -rvuk 0'
Preview cache packages to be removed first, then blow them away.
I use hooks 
/etc/pacman.d/hooks/98-clear-paccache.hook
[Trigger]
Type = Package
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Operation = Remove
Target = *
[Action]
Description = Clear pacman cache...
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/paccache -rk2
/etc/pacman.d/hooks/98-clear-paccache-unused.hook
[Trigger]
Type = Package
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Operation = Remove
Target = *
[Action]
Description = Clear pacman unused cache...
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/paccache -ruk0
Nice!
I haven’t been using --dryrun flag before but it’s good to review the packages to be removed.
I might borrow (read steal) your aliases 
Yeah, me three ![]()
I just never put sudo in my aliases. When I run sudo, I want to be sure I’m running sudo. Typing it out is a small price to pay. I even typed sudo thr four five times in this post, not that difficult…
Also, for paccache, you don’t need sudo. It’s a script and it already has sudo in it.
Thanks.
It prompts me for a sudo password, so I assumed sudo was required, learned something today.
alias s='sudo '
![]()
I really hate typing.
In general, if it prompts you for password on its own, it doesn’t need sudo.
Yeah, makes obvious sense when you actually think about it, rather than error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root.
Aliases changed.
Hello Manuel, follows the requested output:
