Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed instructions and screenshots for extending SMB path limits specifically in Windows, referencing Windows registry and Group Policy tools, and discussing Windows-specific path limitations and workarounds before mentioning Linux/NFS equivalents. Linux/NFS examples are present but less detailed, and Linux tools are referenced only in the context of character byte size analysis, not for SMB path management.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for extending SMB path limits on Linux and macOS clients, including any relevant configuration steps or limitations.
- Include screenshots or terminal output for Linux SMB client errors and path length handling, similar to the Windows dialog examples.
- Discuss Linux tools (e.g., mount options, smb.conf settings) that affect SMB path lengths and provide parity with Windows registry/Group Policy instructions.
- Present Linux/NFS and Windows/SMB examples in parallel sections, ensuring both platforms are addressed equally and neither is consistently prioritized.
- Clarify any differences in path length handling for SMB clients on non-Windows platforms (e.g., Linux, macOS) and provide troubleshooting steps for those environments.
