Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Apr 24 2018
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): CentOS
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen.

Expected being able to move the install location of a game to another location with more space. Trying to move it however results in an error "Files can't be moved to new library folder (updates required).

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start downloading something larger then available space
  2. Run out of space.. move files to another volume.. get hit with bogus out of space zfs bug from 2014
  3. Sufficient time passes to require an update
  4. Right click -> Properties -> Local Files -> Move Install Folder
  5. Pick new location...
  6. Scratch head wondering why

I now have 16G of GTA that will either have to be downloaded again or remember which file stores the location data to move it manually.

Just to clarify, "triage-valve" is your way of saying WONTFIX, correct?
