Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows connection and copy instructions first and in greater detail, including screenshots and step-by-step guidance. Windows-specific tools (e.g., 'net use', File Explorer, Robocopy) are highlighted, while Linux instructions are brief, lack screenshots, and contain a possible error (mounting SMB shares with '-t nfs' instead of '-t cifs'). No Linux file copy tool examples are provided, and Robocopy is recommended without Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions with equal prominence and detail, including screenshots for Linux steps.
  • Correct the Linux mount command to use '-t cifs' for SMB shares, not '-t nfs'.
  • Provide Linux file copy tool examples (e.g., 'cp', 'rsync', 'smbclient') alongside Robocopy.
  • List Linux instructions before or alongside Windows instructions to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
  • Reference Linux documentation or resources for SMB mounting and file copying.
  • Clarify supported SMB versions for Linux and provide troubleshooting tips specific to Linux environments.
