Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All tooling instructions (Robocopy, Data Box Disk Split Copy, DataBoxDiskValidation.cmd) are Windows-specific, with no Linux/macOS equivalents or examples. File copy and validation steps rely on Windows tools, and screenshots and sample outputs are from Windows. Linux users are only briefly mentioned, with no practical guidance or examples for completing the tasks.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for file copy operations, such as examples using rsync, cp, or smbclient.
- Document how to mount Data Box Disk on Linux/macOS, including any required SMB options.
- Offer checksum validation instructions for Linux/macOS, e.g., using sha256sum or md5sum, and clarify how to match Azure requirements.
- List cross-platform tools or scripts (if available) for split copy and validation, or recommend open-source alternatives.
- Include Linux/macOS screenshots or terminal output examples alongside Windows ones.
- Clearly indicate which steps/tools are Windows-only and provide alternative workflows for Linux/macOS users.
