Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, particularly in the SMB sections. Windows tools, registry edits, and GUI screenshots are described in detail for extending SMB path limits, with no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux/macOS SMB clients. Windows-specific terminology (UNC paths, drive letter mapping) is used throughout, and Windows error dialogs are shown. Linux/NFS examples are present, but Linux SMB client scenarios are not addressed, and Windows examples are often presented first or exclusively for SMB.
Recommendations
- Add instructions and examples for extending SMB path limits on Linux and macOS clients, including relevant mount options and configuration steps.
- Include Linux/macOS SMB client error messages and troubleshooting steps for path length issues.
- Present both Windows and Linux/macOS SMB scenarios in parallel, rather than focusing on Windows first.
- Add parity for screenshots and command-line examples, such as showing Linux mount commands and their output.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and provide alternatives for other platforms where possible.
