UUID= /media/games ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2

I hope the drive has a Linux Filesystem and not NTFS, FAT32 etc…īeside I would recommend to mount it like that, if it is not an external drive: Sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /run/media/$USER/GamesĪlso maybe useful: # set full access permissions for everyone When I partitioned the drive I used “sudo chown MYNAME /run/media/MYNAME/Games -R” to set my self as the owner but this is not enough to get steam to install games were I want them to. I tried google to find help but as of yet I have at best found a video on Youtube (cannot include the link) were the video shows how to do it but they way he is doing it does not work for me as he starts the clip with “cd /media” this could be because he uses Ubuntu.Īnyone have any ideas on what I need to do in order to make steam games install on my “Game” partition? So how do I give steam permissions to install the games at the location I want? Next navigating to the drive /dev/sda4/ (only place i can find the partition so I assume it is correct location) and add new folder, which gives me the error “Failed to create a folder, this drive is read-only.” This only makes me think that it is all an issue with permission. I navigated in steam as the following “Steam>Settings>Downloads>Steam Library Folders” then use the “+” sign to add a new path. Now I tried to make Steam install games on the “Game” partition but it failed for me. I have a 4 TB drive that I partitioned as I want to have my OS, Manjaro, in one partition and Games in another partition. I am also still a newbie at Linux, been on Kubuntu for a little more then a year and just switched to Manjaro so I ask kindly for your patience with me.

I hope I can get help here or get pointed to were I should turn with my problem even though it is strictly related to Manjaro but I figure that I cannot be the only one whom had this problem and I got to star somewhere.
