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!
