Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools (DataBoxDiskSplitCopy.exe, DataBoxDiskValidation.cmd) and providing instructions only for enabling long paths on Windows clients, without mentioning Linux or macOS equivalents. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users regarding path length issues, validation, or copy tools, and no mention of cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Include equivalent instructions for handling long file paths on Linux and macOS clients, or clarify if such limitations do not apply.
- Mention or provide cross-platform data copy and validation tools, or explicitly state if the provided tools are Windows-only.
- Add Linux/macOS-specific caveats or best practices for copying data to Data Box Disk, especially regarding file system compatibility and naming conventions.
- If the Data Box Disk workflow is only supported on Windows, state this clearly at the beginning of the documentation. Otherwise, ensure parity in examples and tool references for all supported platforms.
