Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools (DataBoxDiskSplitCopy.exe, DataBoxDiskValidation.cmd) and providing instructions only for enabling long paths on Windows clients. There are no Linux equivalents or examples, nor is there guidance for Linux users regarding path length limitations or validation/copy tools. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for critical operations, omitting Linux parity.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions for Linux users regarding path length limitations, including how to check and handle long paths on Linux filesystems.
- List or describe Linux-compatible tools or command-line patterns for data validation and copying, or clarify if the mentioned tools are cross-platform.
- Include Linux-specific caveats or recommendations, such as filesystem compatibility, permissions, and symbolic link handling.
- Ensure examples and troubleshooting steps cover both Windows and Linux environments, or explicitly state platform limitations.
- If Data Box Disk tools are Windows-only, suggest alternative workflows for Linux users or provide guidance on using the service from Linux systems.
