steam doesn't let me add a new drive when using steam -dev console command library_folder_add /media/games/steam-library
steam returns with : Failed mounting that path!
In the settings clicking the add drive button only creates a steamapps subfolder and nothing else
I did set up my drives so that they could be accesed by all users following this guide and it has been working pefectly fine other than this issue.
Also the drive has been formated ext4 so I am genuinly confused at what could be causing this.
Sorry for the spelling mistakes.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
Launch steam -dev
Go to console
Use command: library_folder_add /media/games/steam-library
