I am experiencing the same issue. I have seen this in som older tickets specially in #3510. My symptoms are that I try to download a game to be installed on linux. The client downloads som data then gets stuck in writing to disk. Ages go by where most of the GUI in the steam client freezes up.
I have seen that many people suggest that Steam is just busy with IO. So I looked at the process specfic IO and overall disk IO. None are even close to be at full throtle. The steam process who manages the IO for the game sometimes tuches 99.99% of all disk IO whis is about 130 KB/s never above 150 KB/s. Same goes for jbd2. It does go up to 99.99% more frequent. But I would hardly say all the time. Quite literary half the time there is no IO going in for any process.
Stuck at 100% My download is stuck at 100%, and the time remaining estimate starts at 1 second and clicks up a second every few seconds. I haven't gotten any corruption messages, and restarting Steam doesn't help. SO i am trying to download the new patch, and my firewall is off, and all protection is off. https://yellowteens282.weebly.com/blog/mac-app-to-monitor. I have plenty of free space for steam, but i am stuck at 98 percent in this new patch. Citrix endpoint analysis plug-in mac download.
So I also looked at the overall disk IO:
This is a snapchot copy+pasted from iotop but showes what a most values are when they are not 0.
Why does my download stop before it is finished? Updated: by Computer Hope When a user experiences an issue while downloading files, it is usually a problem with the connection to their Internet service.
I then used gkrellm to monitor the specifik partition I use for my Steam install (sda2) and to have something to compare i simply used my entire main disk (sdc). I also setup alerts to show a warning if IO rose above 30 KB/s for more than 1 secund. And an Error if it rose above 40 KB/s for more than 1 secund. I do get the alert, but rarley. About maby two that blinks past in the timespan of 1 minute.
I also noticed that when I pause the download, and have started Steam from a terminal, I get loats of these errors before the download goes into paused mode:
Game Stuck At 100% Steam
Download call of duty black ops for free. I have seen quite a few of these googling the internet, but no real fix. Least not one that works for me. My disk is local, mounted with barrier=0. Not symlinked in any way. Running an ext4 filesystem that has about 1.3 TB of free space, 4.4 GB of used and is solely used for Steam games.
Game Stuck At 0% Steam
I tried to test if the disk would show similar bad performance with other tasks, so I used caja to simply copy a folder containing about 13 GB of data in a couple of files. https://pbwhww.weebly.com/blog/citrix-receiver-for-mac-not-working. Result below: PID | PRIO | USER | DISK READ | DISK WRITE | SWAPIN | IO | COMMAND -----|---------|---------|----------------|------------------|------------|-----|---------------- 4859 | be/4 | ******* | 62.38 M/s | 62.44 M/s | 0.00 % | 82.08 % | caja -n [pool]
Below is my System information running Steam client API v017, package version 1419038262. It is beta, but I have already tried stable, and gives exactly the same symptoms.
