Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I just did a fresh install with a 4 TB drive. I have a smaller partition for the OS and my home drive on btrfs and an ext4 partition I made for games. After I installed Steam I configured the games partition to be mounted at /home//Games. What's interesting is that after I did this Steam started reporting its default folder as /home/<user>/Games instead of the folder it had been previously but when I had Steam browse the library folder it took me to the default location. I added the new folder as a new library location and it browses to the new location which is the drive that has been mounted but when I look at the size it shows the partition size of the root partition not the partition mounted at /home//Games. I would expect it to show the amount of space in the partition that is mounted to the folder. I verified that the games are in that partition.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
Create two partitions, a root partition and another partition
Install steam with the second partition unmounted
In the /etc/fstab file, configure the second partition to be mounted in a new Games folder in the home directory and restart the system for the configuration to take effect
In the Steam Settings/Storage see that the default folder is now /home//Games but when you click on "Browse folder" it takes you to the default install location /home//.steam/debian-installation/steamapps
Add the Games directory as a library and see that it is showing the size of the root partition instead of the partition mounted to Games.
I think I know what I did wrong - I created a Games folder in my home folder before mounting the drive there. I think that created some confusion with the OS. My bad.
