Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows connection and copy steps are presented first and in greater detail, with explicit command-line and GUI instructions. The main file copy tool recommended is Robocopy, a Windows-specific utility, with no equivalent Linux tool (such as rsync or cp) given for SMB data copy. Linux instructions are minimal, limited to a single mount command, and lack detailed examples for copying data, error handling, or performance optimization.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-first or parallel instructions for connecting and copying data via SMB, including detailed examples using common Linux tools (e.g., rsync, cp, smbclient).
- Include performance optimization guidance for Linux file copy operations, analogous to the Robocopy session/thread recommendations.
- Offer sample Linux command outputs and troubleshooting steps, similar to the Robocopy output and error notification sections.
- List both Windows and Linux tools for SMB file copy in the main tutorial, and avoid presenting Windows tools exclusively or first.
- Reference Linux documentation and best practices for SMB data transfer, including preserving file attributes and handling errors.
