Game Mode doesn't AutoMount #16

Open pcwizard7 opened 2 years ago

pcwizard7 commented 2 years ago

After a reboot, the drive isn't being auto mounted in game mode, When I switch to desktop mode, the drive is there and mounted. And it shows up in steam library folders again

I Can Run zMount .sh in game mode and mount the partition from there. But it should auto mount at boot for gamer mode, right?

Thanks

same problem here. can you fix this ?

Same issue for me as well. FWIW I am using a USB hub but that shouldn't matter.

I am having the same issue. Wasn't the whole purpose of the script is to auto-mount when hot plugged under Game mode?

There is no need to use the script if you do not need automount outside of Game mode, you can do this directly on settings under removable media. And it will auto mount under desktop mode.

I switch to this method this tool adds btrfs support but I only added support and not convert the OS partition btw as that is an option https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steamos-btrfs

This adds btrfs for windows https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs

once you got them installed you need to take all content off your sd card then use the game mode format sd card button in settings which will format it btrfs then move all contents back on and then make sure sd card is added to steam again and your done

My workaround has been to boot to desktop then plug in the USB hub and SD card and wait for it to mount then restart into game OS.

xfechx commented 1 year ago

Yes, but then the script is pointless. You can do this without any script.

I am aware but let's give the dev a chance to provide a solution.

xfechx commented 1 year ago

Yes, that's out of question. I also consider it is important to make people who aren't aware that at this point this is the issue and also save people time and headeaches and also save the dev from more people rasing the same issue.

Also running into this, curious if folks have come up with a good solution. Considering btrfs, but it seems like it has some downsides as well.

xfechx commented 1 month ago

The current versions of the OS already support this, no need for external scripts. It should auto mount your usb drive at any time you plug it.

What I'm experiencing is my internal NTFS partition gets auto-mounted in desktop mode, but it fails to auto-add the SteamLibrary directory to my library, and trying to do so manually also fails silently.

xfechx commented 1 month ago

Today I struggled the whole day with a similar issue, it was related to a particular SD card mounting on read mode, so a few times I've had to unmount and mount again and fixes itself. Also today I had to manually change a path from /Games/Steam/steamapps to /SteamLibrary. Not sure if some changes are happening and breaking things..
