From /etc/pacman.conf:

Where did you found this line?
It is my configuration to place the cache directory where I think it is best for my machine. Is it forbidden ?
It should be CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
The default is CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/, that's different
This is a convenient place to me as my root system is a not too large SSD. When doing some cleaning on my machines, I found this:
$ ls -al /drawer/system ..... lrwxrwxrwx 1 gabx users 34 Aug 12 21:10 pacman -> /tmp/asd-gabx/drawer/system/pacman/
Pacman is working like a charm, but I would like to understand why abd by what the pacman directory is a symlink to a volatile dir?
Thank you for any hints on how investigate.

If you have no free space, use pacman -Sc to clean the old versions or change it on another partition with enough disk space. What is abd?
