After I installed my OS from scratch for a newer version, I cannot open one of my steam libraries anymore.

I know this is solved on ubuntu with a 3-version kernel.

Here's my OS information:

[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost 4.1.8-desktop-1.mga5 #1 SMP Sun Sep 20 12:39:07 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/issue
Mageia release 5 (Official) for x86_64
Kernel 4.1.8-desktop-1.mga5 on a 4-processor x86_64 / \l

This is the mount where the steam library is located which I cannot open anymore:

/dev/sdc3 on /steam type btrfs (rw,relatime,ssd,space_cache)

This is the error message when I try to open this library:

steam-ssd_btrfs-libfolder01

And I can see following error in the console when I tried to open the library:

sh: /steam/data//steamapps/.steam_exec_test.sh: No such file or directory

I have another library which can be used just fine:

/dev/mapper/vgSATA-lvSteam on /steamSATA type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
