From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Where is Steam writing to and where is the drive mounted to? If the drive is mounted at /mnt/games, create the folder: /mnt/game/steam, run "chmod /mnt/game/steam" and then have Steam create it's library within there. So in the end, Steam's folder will probably be at /mnt/games/steam/SteamLibrary. This way it shouldn't matter what Steam is setting the permissions to.
Just noticed the chmod command I included missed the username part. I've edited the comment to fix it.
