Steam Disk Read Error

Ask Fedora

1

Hi,
I a new Fedora user, and I have been trying to make Steam work on my machine, but things just do not seem to work.
When I am installing games which require high storage capacity, at 100% download, I will just get Disk Read Error.
I am clueless on what to do. I have tried multiple solutions such as reinstalling Fedora on 2 different physical drives, changing download folder location in Steam, cleaning download cache in Steam, installing another version of Steam.
My partition format on my disks are BTRFS which seems acceptable for any operations…

I have found things which can maybe give a hint on what is happening:

  1. Cannot run sudo steam in the console: Cannot run as root user as error message.
  2. Running sudo btrfs scrub start / gives corrupted errors, on both drives I have tried Fedora on, but only when I am trying to install my Steam games.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am really out of ideas. Thanks in advance.

It seems your hardware is faulty. Either the disks, or the controller on motherboard, or memory, …

Well, it seems that after installing other games with lower space requirement, and multiple tries, it does work for the moment. Still getting crashes on some games. Weird behavior that I have not really fixed, but seems to have been fixed by itself.
