Summary
The documentation references Windows-specific tools (DataBoxDiskSplitCopy.exe, DataBoxDiskValidation.cmd) and provides instructions for enabling long paths only on Windows clients. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or instructions, nor any mention of how Linux users should handle long paths or validate/copy data. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively, creating friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for DataBoxDiskSplitCopy and DataBoxDiskValidation tools, or document alternative workflows for those platforms.
- Include instructions for handling long file paths on Linux/macOS clients, such as relevant filesystem settings or limitations.
- Explicitly state platform support and limitations for all tools and workflows.
- Add Linux/macOS-specific examples and troubleshooting steps where relevant.
