I get the "Couldn't find Steam content, did you move it?" dialog when I start Steam. But when I click "Reinstall", I get an error :

Couldn't set up Steam data - please contact technical support

In a terminal, I get this :

Setting up Steam content in /home/kiwec/.local/share/Steam

My home folder is linked to a NTFS drive (drive mounted on /home via fstab), with umask=000.

System : Arch Linux x64, with bumblebee (nvidia + mesa, and their lib32 variants), on a GTX 960.

Solved :
I moved ~/.local/share/Steam to an ext4 partition, made a symlink and Steam started just fine.

Nothing extracted yet.
