I encountered this as well just now (2023-07-27 ~13:00 UTC). My root drive was getting full - mostly Steam games - so I moved my library to a new drive I just installed (both are SSDs, both using ext4 file system). Most games moved successfully. CS:GO and The Witcher failed because of this 'disk write error' - no further details are given.
Deus Ex + Revision and Steamworks Common Redistributables also failed to move but for the 'has shared content' reason.
Running on Ubuntu 22.04, non-beta Steam, OS and Steam both up-to-date. I wonder if manually moving the game directories will work...
I think it might be more of a disk read error than a write error. Turns out there was one non-game data file in each game installation that couldn't be read (one was a workshop file, the other was a file from bonus, non-game material).
Manual move doesn't work on its own but within Steam, uninstalling the game from the original location and then reinstalling in the target location seems to work - Steam verifies the existing files without downloading unnecessarily..
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
what you expected should happen:
I want to move games from the standard library to a newly created one on a new SSD using the Storage Manager, I expect that when I select games for moving and select one of the new libraries the games will be moved there.
what did happen:
When I start the "move content"-operation it quickly errors out with the message
Steps for reproducing this issue:
~/.steamand~/.local/share/Steamhousing the steam directories and the default library~/games/steam_libto be specific)I initially thought that maybe the zfs pool wasn't set up correctly even though it houses /home without issue but I can install games in those libraries just fine and they run just fine too.
