Hi, I recently reinstalled and went to add my Steam library from my other drive, however it wasn’t recognised. The drive is mounted as /DATA and when I choose to add an additional library in Steam, /DATA shows up but there is no + next to it and I cannot add the ‘SteamGames’ directory as I have done many times. Does anyone know what is causing this?
Thanks

no, btrfs. I have used the library on several distros
Can you open steam in terminal and see if it spits any errors while process of trying to add library?

I’ve got it working [after a fashion] - I moved the ‘steamapps’ folder from inside my ‘SteamGames’ folder to the root of /DATA, added it in the add library screen in Steam and it worked fine. It seems it can’t be deeper than the root folder.
EDIT: I can also add a new folder (called whatever I like) to the /home folder but not any other drive

Does steam always core dump like that for you?

don’t know to be honest - it’s a fresh install. The problem with adding a different directory has only just started happening too. The ‘Failed to start Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:acpi_video0.’ error is always there though, can’t seem to get rid of it - it’s very irritating.

I had this also on my AMD Ryzen machine with amdgpu graphics driver.
Check first:
systemctl status systemd-backlight@backlight:amdgpu_bl0.service
It should show as loaded and active.
Then you can try disabling the other service:
sudo systemctl disable systemd-backlight@backlight:acpi_video0.service
