Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I have many games installed on a local NFS. When Steam tries to update them, after a minute or two, the disk usage drops to zero, and it just gets stuck. I'm forced to remove the NFS library to restore functionality.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Add NFS as a library
  2. Let games try to update
  3. Profit

I cannot recreate. My NFS works just fine with steam games. At least the Linux native ones. I haven't thoroughly tested proton on NFS.

Can you share your NFS Mount arguments and exports config?

Here are the mount options:
10.0.0.1:/monochrome /media/NFS nfs clientaddr=10.0.0.2,nconnect=16,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,local_lock=all,fsc,nosuid,nodev,async,noatime,soft,nofail,hard,intr,nolock,x-systemd.after=network-online.target,x-systemd.device-timeout=15s,_netdev

Here is the export config:
/tank/nfs 192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,async,no_subtree_check) 10.0.0.0/8(rw,fsid=0,async,no_subtree_check)

nothing looks obviously wrong to me. my NFS is working fine. only major difference in my setup is that i specify nfs4.

I believe this has resolved itself, don't know why this happened in the first place.

Nothing extracted yet.
