When trying to add a new storage location in steam settings nothing takes effect and I cannot add my 2nd hard drive as a location to install games. I have used lsblk to confirm drives are mounted correctly, I've mounted them in /mnt/ssd, and I've tried mounting them in /home/keslarium/mnt/ssd, nothing seems to work.
I originally had steam installed via flatpak but determined that that might be the cause of the issue, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it using pacman. I'm also not 100% sure I've setup the automount in my /etc/fstab correctly, so I'm not gonna rule that out as an issue.
I AM able to add a storage location on my primary nvme (the one I have arch and steam installed on) separate from the default storage location, so I'm 99% sure it's an issue with how I have the 2nd SSD mounted.
Any help is appreciated
EDIT: probably should have put the relevant contents of my /etc/fstab in here:
UUID=(the uuid of /dev/sda1 per blkid) /home/keslarium/mnt/ssd auto defaults,nofail,x-systemd.automount,exec 0 2EDIT: SOLVED (of course I solve it 5 minutes after I resort to posting a question online)
I never chown'ed the /home/keslarium/mnt/ssd. I remembered to do this when I was trying the directory based from root (instead of home), but forgor this time until now. Still feel free to lecture me on how I should do things better I could use the learning.
