Disk write error to sd card (temporary solution provided)
I keep getting a disk write error when downloading/updating some games via steam to the sd card (not the internal drive). The problem is resolved if I uninstall the game and go to run/media/mmcblk0p1/steamapps/common and delete that game's folder there as well. This bug only occurs with games that have a folder inside of this directory. After doing this, then I can install the game or reinstall with the update. However, if a game or workshop content is updated (and a folder remains), it will send a disk write error and become unplayable until performing the method above (likely because it sees a duplicate folder and won't overwrite like it did with prior updates). The sd card is legit (via f3 probe) and still works fine (and has for 9 months). This started occurring since the update to 3.4.10. This is also an old problem that was previously resolved around Feb or March of this year. Not sure what changed.

NOTE: The shader pre-caching and save game updates (or other updates that occur after rebooting the deck) are excluded from this bug and update normally. I am referring to major content updates, workshop content (adding, removing, or updating) and reacquiring files after "verifying the integrity of game files" (via the properties menu).

Please fix this (again). Thanks.
