Getting disk write failure on update to newest version (2.01?) in Steam. Appears to be related to a typical Windows developer bug: assuming that filenames are case insensitive. me@banshee:/opt/SteamLibrary$ grep failed ~/.local/share/Steam/logs/content_log.txt [2015-09-12 15:32:01] AppID 291650 update canceled : File commit failed: unexpected install file locked "/opt/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity/PillarsOfEternity_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll" (Disk write failure) Actual location of files is under /opt/SteamLibrary/SteamApps, as seen here: me@banshee:/opt/SteamLibrary$ ls -l total 3 drwxrwxr-x 6 jimbo jimbo 75 Sep 12 15:35 SteamApps me@banshee:/opt/SteamLibrary$ ls '/opt/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity/PillarsOfEternity_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll' ls: cannot access `/opt/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity/PillarsOfEternity_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll': No such file or directory Having found the problem, I monkeypatched it temporarily by just symlinking /opt/SteamLibrary/steamapps to /opt/SteamLibrary/SteamApps: me@banshee:/opt/SteamLibrary$ ln -s SteamApps steamapps me@banshee:/opt/SteamLibrary$ ls -l total 3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 jimbo jimbo 9 Sep 12 15:36 steamapps -> SteamApps drwxrwxr-x 6 jimbo jimbo 74 Sep 12 15:35 SteamApps me@banshee:/opt/SteamLibrary$ ls '/opt/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity/PillarsOfEternity_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll' /opt/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity/PillarsOfEternity_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll This worked, but it's horrid. Please update your paths to reflect the fact that Windows is pretty much the only system that routinely uses case-insensitive file and path names. A directory named SteamApps should always be referred to as SteamApps, not as steamapps. =) Thank you!
