I was told by the developers of the borealis container that this is actually an issue with the way the free disk space is reported to steam inside the VM and how this somewhat fails to differentiate between internal and external disks.
The behavior is triggered by the extra flag -chromeosdiskmanagement
set in the steam launch wrapper installed in the VM.
In summary you should probably tag is as not-our-bug
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
The default drive is mounted as brtfs and I've added an external drive image of 800GB which is formatted with brtfs as well. When I check the disk space the available free space is reported as a random number, for the external drive I've seen 16.777.216 TB free of 799 GB, but also 40 GB games, 758 GB other, 3.57 GB free, the internal drive also gives the same number for free space, i.e. I've seen 16.777.216 TB and 3.57 GB. When I run
df -h
the free space reported is looks reasonable, i.e. disk size minus the size of the installed games.When running steam with
DBG_STAT=1
I getand multiplying block size and f_bavail seem to give the same number for free space like reported by the OS.
When I get 16.777.216 TB I can install games, so I started to install some games, but after initiating three downloads, the reported size for free went down to around 2GB again, and the additional disk space was reported as "Other". I've also tried to clean the download cache, but in the end it seems that the reported value for free space is kind of random. In all cases the values reported by statvfs64 seemed reasonable.
