Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows/SMB scenarios, registry edits, and Group Policy for path length extension, with screenshots and detailed instructions for Windows clients. Windows tools and terminology (CMD, UNC paths, drive letter mapping) are mentioned extensively, while Linux/NFS examples are limited to basic command-line usage and a single utility (uniutils). Linux methods for extending or querying path limits are not covered in detail, and parity in troubleshooting or error handling is lacking.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/NFS troubleshooting steps and error screenshots for path length issues.
- Include instructions for querying and adjusting NFS path limits using Linux tools and configuration files (e.g., limits.h, getconf).
- Offer examples for mounting NFS shares with long paths and discuss relevant Linux client behaviors.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux/NFS and Windows/SMB are treated equally, rather than Windows-first.
- Mention Linux-specific limitations, workarounds, and configuration options where Windows registry/group policy edits are discussed.
- Add parity in examples for extending path limits, such as kernel or mount options for NFS, and clarify cross-platform compatibility concerns.
