Want to move steam library to other drive.

Why does Steam not see my other drives when I'm trying to set up a steam library outside of the boot drive?

You don't need to that via steam. You can do it with the filesystem itself.

For example, if your other disk is mounted /other/disk, you can move it to the other drive and then symlink it back.

First shutdown steam. Then do:

sudo mv ~/.local/share/Steam /other/disk/.
ln -s /other/disk/Steam ~/.local/share/Steam

That should work unless you are using a flatpak or similar with a sandboxed library location.

Hi there. A couple of questions. Is the other drive internal or external? What format does the disk have? Are you using steam from the solus repo or did you intalled it by other means?
