Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows-specific instructions and tools (such as Robocopy and net use) before Linux equivalents, providing detailed Windows command examples and screenshots, and focusing on Windows workflows. Linux instructions are minimal, with only a basic mount command shown and no detailed Linux file copy examples or tool recommendations. There is also a lack of parity in troubleshooting, performance tuning, and error handling guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-first or side-by-side examples for connecting to SMB shares, including both mount and file manager (e.g., Nautilus, Dolphin) workflows.
- Include detailed Linux file copy tool usage (e.g., rsync, cp, smbclient) with recommended parameters for performance and integrity, similar to the Robocopy section.
- Add Linux-specific troubleshooting steps, error messages, and screenshots for mounting and copying data.
- Offer performance optimization guidance for Linux tools, including recommended thread/concurrency settings for rsync or smbclient.
- Ensure parity in documentation for metadata preservation (ACLs, timestamps) using Linux tools.
- Reference Linux documentation and community resources for SMB/NFS file operations.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, rather than Windows-first, to avoid implicit prioritization.
