Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows (robocopy) instructions and scenarios first and in much greater detail, including command breakdowns and multiple usage examples. Linux instructions are minimal, lacking detailed steps for preserving metadata (especially ACLs), and do not provide equivalent command breakdowns or advanced scenarios. The Linux section omits examples for copying ACLs and attributes, and does not mention or explain tools such as smbcacls or cifsacl beyond a brief mention.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux examples with the same level of detail as Windows, including command breakdowns and explanations for each parameter.
  • Include step-by-step instructions for copying both data and metadata (ACLs, timestamps, attributes) on Linux, using tools like smbcacls or cifsacl.
  • Present Linux and Windows sections in parallel or side-by-side, or clearly indicate both options at the start, to avoid the impression of Windows being the default.
  • Add troubleshooting notes and advanced scenarios for Linux users, similar to the Windows/robocopy section.
  • Reference Linux documentation for the mentioned tools, and provide links to official guides for rsync, smbcacls, and cifsacl.
