Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows terminology, tools, and behaviors. Windows-specific concepts (such as NT ACLs, SeBackupPrivilege, and default ACLs) are explained in detail, while Linux equivalents are either omitted or described only in relation to Windows features. Linux examples, tools, and patterns for preserving ACLs and metadata are missing, and the documentation repeatedly notes limitations for Linux clients without offering guidance or alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux copy tool examples (e.g., smbclient, rsync, cp) and instructions for preserving ACLs and metadata.
- Clarify what metadata and ACLs are preserved when using Linux clients, and describe any Linux-specific limitations or workarounds.
- Include Linux terminology and patterns (e.g., POSIX ACLs, setfacl/getfacl) alongside Windows concepts.
- Offer troubleshooting steps and best practices for Linux users, especially when ACLs or attributes are not preserved.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally, rather than Windows-first.
