Your system information

  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I cannot install some addons of all steam games, when I try to install a addon, download cancels itself immediately
This only happens to some of addons, I can install other ones just fine, but I'm unsure what's causing the issue
This only happens to game that are installed on NTFS drive, which I share with windows installation. Moving games into ext4 drive fails sometimes but succeed when I try again.
This is workshop log file: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/vecibuholi.yaml
It is filled with I/O Operation Failed
It was fine until yesterday
I'm able to create/remove files on the NTFS drive without problem and I have marked all files in my steam library folder in the NTFS drive with 777 using chmod -R 777 STEAMGAMES

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install game
    on ntfs drive
  2. Install 7+ random addons from workshop
  3. Some of them doesn't download

I have tried: changing download location, clearing download cache, verifying integrity of games, resetting steam, and deleting everything in steam library directory in NTFS drive except common directory but none of it worked so far

Hello @tmvkrpxl0, it should be noted that sharing a Steam library folder across OSes is explicitly unsupported as noted at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/blob/master/RelNotes.md#installation.

That said, there might be a general Steam + NTFS issue to ponder here.

I see, still, I dont think shring game with window is cause of problem, only thin that I think could be problem is permission issue but I have already taken care of them

@kisak-valve The issue got worse, I am unable to move games from ext4 drive into ntfs drive, it says "Disk write error"

I was able to solve the issue by changing fstab entry to UUID=461CB4351CB4223B /media/tmvkrpxl0/DATA auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,defaults,exec,async,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
I'm still unsure which option was the issue but it works again so it's cool
