SteamCMD (Disk write failure)

Mist8kenGAS · **Author**

Hello, today I tried to install a linux TF2 dedicated server on an Amazon EC2 instance, but when I try to install it, an error message pops up that says: "ERROR! Failed to install app '232250' (Disk write failure)"

This still happens when I have superuser (sudo) and if I install it on a new instance.
I have also tried removing SteamCMD cache and /var/tmp (also rebooting machine doesn't work)

any help is highly appreciated!

did you check how much diskspace you have?

df -h

Make sure you set a valid installation path and you have enough disk space left.

I have 120GB of space left on the drive, I even tried to add another drive but it still has the same error.

Execute as game server user NOT root

Code:

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir ../tf2 +app_update 232250 validate
