Isn't /tmp normally chmod 777? Anyone should be able to write to it. In
this case, it should be able to create /tmp/dumps (if someone else
doesn't already own it), and then write to it. It's possible the message
is a canned message and something else is wrong. Like the maybe the devs
just assumed you would use root to install it? If I had time (I don't
tonight, sorry), I would give it a shot myself to see if maybe it's
weirdly distro related. What is your steamcmd command line(s)?

Yep, disk space is wide open.
Tried opening-up perms on /tmp/dumps to new user or even just "users",
did not help.
In fact, it broke SteamCMD similarly under the user that I normally use.
Deleting with/without manually re-creating /tmp/dumps still had same
issues.
Had to reboot to get /tmp cleaned-up and everything working for
normal/existing game server user.
Just weird that I would really like to keep both users 100% isolated
from each other and non-priv. But, I don't see any way to tell
SteamCMD to not use that shared /tmp/dumps folder.

Does dmesg show anything of interest? I assume you checked free
space? Have you tried opening up privileges on /tmp/dumps? Either
chown to your users, or chmod 777 and see what happens? FWIW, I
just run steamcmd under the root account, it tends to simplify things.

Hmm... I am trying for the first time to have game-server
instances running under different simultaneous
(non-root/non-sudo/unprivileged) linux users, and noticed that
SteamCMD is failing during a SourceDS install for a game,
complaining about a "disk write" error and something to do with
"/tmp/dumps"?
I deleted it, and let it get re-created, but SteamCMD /still
/throws a "disk write" error.
This is under Debian Linux 10 (Linux 4.19.0-14-amd64 on x86_64).
Anyone seen and overcome this?
