2nd HDD : 3TB disk ext4 , with about 1.4TB of steam games.
It's has be fine for 1yr +
Today in the steam client it looked like all the library was not installed.
Steam client -> Settings -> downloads -> Library folders not longer showed the 2nd path to the 3TB
Tried to add it back and got the message.
"New Steam library folder must be on a filesystem mounted with executable permissions"
To add it I first needed to rename the folder SteamApps to be lower case.
/media/my_user/Data/Steam/SteamApps
to
/media/my_user/Data/Steam/steamapps
Now it works again.
Yesterday my Steam client gave a strange message about "...mounted with executable permissions"
It was actually resolved by renaming the folder to "steamapps"
