Today steam client could not see my 2nd library disk
Stoney_Fish Nov 4, 2015
Ubuntu 15.10
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.

Why was it uppercase?
Stoney_Fish Nov 5, 2015
The directory name was mixed case "SteamApps" and had been working fine, the client had created it like that a year or so ago.

Yesterday my Steam client gave a strange message about "...mounted with executable permissions"

It was actually resolved by renaming the folder to "steamapps"
