Steam disk write error linux
When I try to install Hearts of Iron IV in my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, it always says «disk write error».
An error occured while updating Hearts of Iron IV (disk write error):
home/ /.local/share/Steam/steamapps/downloading/394360/wiki/load.php@debug=false&lang=en&modules=mediawiki.action.view.categoryPage.styles%7Cmediawiki.helplink%2CsectionAnchor%7Cmediawiki.legacy.commonPrint%2Cshared%7Cmediawiki.skinning.interface%7Cskins.vector.styles&only=styles&skin=vector.css
Can anybody help me fix that?
You do have enough free space?
I do have, a lot of space
Does this happen when you are trying to install other games too?
1- go to steam settings, clear download cache and try again
2- change download server location on steam settings
3- go to steam settings and create a secondary games folder somewhere and try again (choosing the new folder when asked by the game installer dialog)
If nothing works:
— Is any step to that folder path following a symbolic link?
— Is the steam games library in an NTFS partition?
I’m having the same issue. The problem seems to be that this file name is too long for ext4: load.php@debug=false&lang=en&modules=mediawiki.action.view.categoryPage.styles%7Cmediawiki.helplink%2CsectionAnchor%7Cmediawiki.legacy.commonPrint%2Cshared%7Cmediawiki.skinning.interface%7Cskins.vector.styles&only=styles&skin=vector.css
EDIT: Seems like I was wrong, it had to do something with my encrypted home. I solved it by moving my .steam directory outside my home, then mounting it back to it’s original location.
FWIW, in my case (home directory on a NFS share, steam games on /opt/steam), I was able to solve the issue by linking the downloading directory to a local partition, like so:
/.steam/steam/steamapps rm -rf downloading/ ln -s /opt/steam/downloading/ downloading

/.steam/steam/steamapps rm -rf downloading/ ln -s /opt/steam/downloading/ downloading
Yep, if you use NFS4, the solution is to make downloading/ directory be a symlink to some other local file system (i.e. ext4 or tmpfs), possibly use NFS3 with some local_lock=flock mount option, or use a LD preload to disable use of flock for steam, it should be relatively safe I guess.
Unfortunately it is still not fixed in Steam client as of today.
I had this issue installing straight to /opt/games installing a Valheim server. I solved this with permissions (sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/games) in case anybody has this issue.
Thank you, although my path was /usr/games, changing the permission like this helped me get my Valheim server installed.
i got the disk write error when trying to install proton experimental.
in my case the problem seems to be that my main partition is luks encrypted and it has something to do with that.
i created a second UNencrypted ext4 partition and set it as default installation dir in settings.
now everything works fine.
@giluks
that’s bizarre that proton won’t be installed/work properly from a luks-encrypted partition. it should be totally transparent and just work, as it does for every other app except ones that need to actually handle partitioning and disk encryption.
it’s a hint that Valve may be implementing their library data handling at a lower abstraction level than it should. and coherent with several reports of steam sometimes not working over some linux-compatible partition types, not just NTFS
did you open an issue on their github bug tracker for this?
No problems with Proton (or anything else) with encrypted partitions for me.
Disk write error can also happen when an update is unable to replace a directory, usually because it is not empty. Making a new filesystem would fix that by accident.

Steam disk write error linux
What i can try to repair the problem? All of the games that are asking for an update and reporting a write disk error are running with proton.
My system is ubuntu 16.04 x64, with the steam beta client, and the problem is new. Steam OS games are updating properly: the problem is only affecting windows games running with proton.
Here are some results I found with «Disk Write Error+Steam+Linux» keywords from my quick Google Search.
You can visit the Hardware and Operating Systems forums, you may want to include more details about your computers specs and games that give this error, and are you using the Steam client beta, Wine compatibility, etc..

I read common scenarios before posting, like those expressed in your answer:
«A ‘disk write error’ will just be what it says: Either you don’t have enough space on the disk or the disk is corrupted for example.»
If you read the description of my problem, the disk is ok, and im sure of it because i have tested it, and games that are steam-os (installed in the same disk) are working. The third link you offered is also focused in that possibility.
«Go to your Steam library directory, and symlink ‘SteamApps’ to ‘steamapps'»
i also wrote that the windows based games were working fine until the lastest update. this solution is for people that try to access their games from a desktop link, which is something im not doing.
:Teddy_talk:
So as advice, before attempting to offer an answer, please read the question more carefully.

Steam disk write error linux
Steam for Linux
I’m using linux manjaro xfce and I’m an ultra noob to linux so please excuse any mistakes
when I’m downloading a game steam downloads for a while, then says disk write error and stops, then I have to continue the download again and it starts downloading then it gives the same error and pauses and so on
To which directory/disk are you downloading? How much space is free? How much had been downloaded?
is it ntfs, ext4, exfat?
To which directory/disk are you downloading? How much space is free? How much had been downloaded?
I’m downloading into a HDD mounted into home, it has approx 1 TB of space free and as for how much I dont get exactly what you mean, it just says «disk write error» and pauses the download after every 1 GB downloaded or so
The questionm was aiming at the possibility it’s not downloading anything (not mounted, no write permissions, disk full, . ). If it does, all those are ruled out. Maybe the disk has actual physical write problems?
It’s a possibility but I doubt this, it’s only a few months old and İt was working completely fine in a windows OS before the switch.
Also yeah, it does download stuff, I can bruteforce it to download by just starting the download again whenever it gives the error, but that would be problematic for bigger downloads
There’s somebody else experiencing the same just yesterday as well.

Steam disk write error linux
Hello, I wanted to install an ARK: Survival Evolved Server on my Linux (Debian 10) server. But everytime I want to download it I get the error «ERROR! Failed to install app ‘376030’ (Disk write failure)»
There is enough space (over 50GB) and the hdd / ssd doesn’t have any problems. At least my hoster would already have noticed it, if it would be a dead hdd / ssd.
hmm any anti virus app, that has been caugth in blocking and make disk write error because its blocked, im not sure linux have same issue.
windows have chkdsk, im sure Linux grp can help you better.
because if they cant, you are in trouble.
50 gb , are you a joke here , thats nothing, if you dont have 3 to 5 times more then that, then you have not learn anything about how unpacking can expand , and linux or not, will not help you here.
and its funny we never see people with new and empty disk in trouble, its always thery last 200 to 250 gb free space left, that has problem here.
dont forget hard words from linux owner , it always windows user that cant figureout anything, im pretty sure you have never hear that before, right. ( go fix your problem and return with solution. )

I don’t have any anti virus. The command grp doesn’t exist. I already had an ARK Server installed and it only needed 13GB, I don’t think they released a update with 40GB. I think you even forget that we are speaking about a server, not the game.

ask ark support then. there is no one else that has support, and if linux people cant help you, i doubt windows user can.
Server, game, or whatever Steam files are compressed and require scratch space to decompress and decode; I would conjecture Steam still will need more free space.
Were you able to fix this? Having the same issue with 250gb left.
Edit: Same thing on my Windows machine, 600GB free. Maybe some more toxicity from Iceira can fix it.
I had this issue earlier, managed for fix it. I’m not entirely sure what the exact fix is but follow these steps and you should get past this annoying error.
1, After steamcmd.exe has been downloaded and install
2, Find the drive you would like to install the Ark server on
3, Create a folder called exactly «arkserver» no capitalisation
4, Open your arkserver folder and create another folder inside called «steamapps» again, no capitalisation
5, Type «login USERNAME PASSWORD STEAM_GUARD» replacing the capitalised words with your username, your password and your steam guard key if you have it enabled and then press enter. It should look like this: «login aKimbodiac password123 ABC123»
6, Once you get the «ok» response type «force_install_dir YOUR_DRIVE_LETTER:\arkserver» then press enter. It should look like this: force_install_dir C:\arkserver»
7. With any luck. This should work.
if in doubt, navigate steamcmd\logs\content_log.txt and scroll to the bottom, this should give you an error like this:
[2021-06-08 19:58:18] Loaded 0 apps from install folder «e:\arkserver\steamapps\appmanifest_*.acf».
[2021-06-08 19:58:26] Library folder «e:\arkserver\steamapps» is not writable (Disk write failure).
As you can see, it was trying to add «appmanifest» to a folder that did not exist while not attempting to create it either.
I know this is a fix for windows but I hope this helps!
Have had this issue for the past couple days as well on my Win10 PC.
Trying to setup a new Dedicated Server on the same computer that already had previous servers working.
Had to make a new folder «ArkServer’, then copy SteamCMD.exe to that folder and run it, let it do its thing.
Made a .bat file in the same folder with .. «steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir D:\ArkServer +app_update 376030 validate» ..
Ran the .bat file and let it install the server to the same folder that SteamCMD is in.
It gave a comment about installing the Server to a folder that Steam was in, but then proceeded to download it anyway.
