Hello @CaptainD54321, the download and update of game content including SteamVR is handled by the Steam client, not SteamVR, so I've transferred this issue report to the steam-for-linux issue tracker.
From content_log.previous.txt:

It looks like your issue is coming from /media/desmond/SP PHD U3/Games/SteamLibrary/
. What filesystem are you using with that secondary Steam library folder and is the partition healthy?
@kisak-valve SP PHD U3
is an external hard drive that I use for bulk storage, including of games I'm not currently playing but don't want to redownload (hence the secondary library folder); it looks like its an NTFS partition. It is a somewhat old drive, but as far as I know still working fine; regardless, it's not the drive that SteamVR is installed on (SteamVR is in the default install folder in ~/.local/share
, since it doesn't even let you install it anywhere else) and is not my main library folder, so it seems weird that steam is apparently trying to cache download data there; maybe steam is doing that because my main drive is pretty full (I only have about 10 GB free rn), so it decides to use the drive with more free space for caching files?
Same issue on BTRFS
Describe the bug Whenever an update releases for SteamVR, I cannot update it without uninstalling completely and then reinstalling the new version; if I try to just update steam always gives a "Disk Write Error".
