Samba for PS2 install seems to fail

[iamaburrama]

Been attempting to get SAMBA for PS2 script running from the retronas menu but get what I think to be a permissions error.

This is the output of the command running from terminal. https://pastebin.com/wvN23TX6

I can also provide the ansible.log if needed. The only failed section I see is the following:

PLAY RECAP *************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=37 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=1 rescued=0 ignored=0

My permissions are listed as: https://pastebin.com/1nPGD08J

Some other details of my setup:

• Running Bullseye 11 on an Unraid VM.
• External storage was used in a RPi previously but moved over, attached and given new permissions for the new setup. All set to generic.
• Running smb, ftp and mister shares currently

The error seems pretty inconsequential but I could be missing something. Once the script completes no PS2 share shows up in the base \RETROSMB\ share.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Received an answer from the removed reddit thread I posted. Sorry about that.. figured it would be better visibility here and maybe help someone else. Wasn't sure if this may be a bug. Hopefully the user: sai_ruk will see this in this discussion.

This fixed the issue:

safe to assume your drive contains an existing PS2 folder structure?

the POPS directory changes to a link to the generic roms dir for ps1 in later versions of RetroNAS that needs to be cleaned up manually, we don't assume the directory is empty and remove it.

so if its empty you can just remove the POPS directory in /storage/retronas/ps2/OpenPS2Loader and rerun the install to setup PS2 successfully

or rename it and rerun i supose
