Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows/SMB path length details, providing extensive instructions and screenshots for Windows-specific configurations (such as registry edits and Group Policy), and referencing Windows tools and error dialogs. Linux/NFS sections are present but less detailed, with fewer practical examples and no equivalent visual aids or troubleshooting steps. Linux tools are mentioned only in the context of character byte size calculation, not for path length management or troubleshooting.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent Linux/NFS troubleshooting steps and error examples, such as common error messages and how to resolve them.
- Include screenshots or terminal output for Linux/NFS path length errors, similar to the Windows dialog screenshots.
- Provide Linux-specific guidance for extending or querying path limits, such as relevant sysctl settings or mount options, if applicable.
- Balance the order of presentation: introduce NFS/Linux and SMB/Windows path limits in parallel, rather than focusing on Windows first.
- Reference Linux documentation or tools (e.g., getconf, limits.h) more prominently and provide practical usage scenarios.
- Offer parity in practical examples, such as how to map NFS mounts deeper into the directory structure to work around path length issues, similar to the SMB mapping workaround.
