Adding second steam library fails

PC: Moving from ubuntu.. I added my games ssd to fstab as normal. rebooted and its there on startup in /var/mnt/gaming. perms are good and everything owned by my user. When I add the drive to steams storage in setting it just does nothing. I tried and existing games dir and create new. nothing gets added. Stumped... Any ideas?

could you share you /etc/fstab config? Might be something small in the config Also might be worth starting steam from the terminal via /usr/bin/bazzite-steam and see if you can see a useful error message in steam's terminal log

You missing the exec permissions part, so steam cannot run it's setup scripts on the drive. Also have a look at the Bazzite documentation, they explain it quite well here https://universal-blue.discourse.group/docs?topic=970#ext4-12
