Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing on SMB protocol (primarily used in Windows environments), referencing Windows-style paths (\\<ServerName>\<ShareName>), and providing instructions that assume Windows conventions (such as right-clicking folders for security properties). There is an explicit note that non-Windows NAS devices are not officially supported, and no Linux-specific examples, tools, or workflows are provided. The documentation does not mention Linux alternatives (such as NFS, Linux file permissions, or Linux command-line tools) and omits guidance for users operating in Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Add explicit support statements or guidance for Linux-based NAS devices, or clarify limitations.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for file paths, user permissions, and job creation (e.g., using NFS or Linux SMB clients).
- Include instructions for managing file security and access on Linux systems (e.g., using chmod, chown, or setfacl).
- Reference Linux tools and commands for copying data (such as smbclient, rsync, or mount.cifs) alongside Windows equivalents.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting steps and error log access for Linux environments.
- If Linux is not supported, provide clear alternatives or workarounds for Linux users.
