Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting SMB/Windows path length limitations and workarounds in greater detail and before NFS/Linux equivalents. Windows-specific tools (e.g., registry edits, Group Policy, drive mapping) are described extensively, including screenshots, while Linux/NFS sections are briefer, lack visual aids, and do not provide equivalent troubleshooting or configuration guidance. Linux/NFS examples are limited to basic shell commands, with no discussion of advanced configuration or error handling comparable to the Windows coverage.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux/NFS troubleshooting steps and configuration examples analogous to the Windows registry and Group Policy instructions (e.g., how to check or adjust NFS client limits, or handle path length errors).
- Include screenshots or terminal output for Linux/NFS error messages and configuration steps, similar to the Windows dialog and Group Policy images.
- Present NFS/Linux information before or alongside SMB/Windows information to avoid the impression of Windows-first bias.
- Expand on Linux/NFS-specific limitations, workarounds, and best practices, such as mounting strategies, relevant kernel parameters, or client configuration files.
- Offer parity in example depth: if Windows path mapping and error dialogs are shown, provide equivalent Linux/NFS examples (e.g., mounting deep directories, handling long paths in scripts, or using alternative mount options).
