Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by listing Windows-specific tools (robocopy) for SMB migration without mentioning Linux/Unix equivalents (such as smbclient or rsync with SMB support). Additionally, the order of tool presentation often places Windows tools before Linux alternatives, and there are no explicit Linux command examples for SMB migration, potentially disadvantaging Linux users.
Recommendations:
- For SMB migration, mention Linux/Unix tools such as 'smbclient', 'mount -t cifs', or 'rsync' with SMB support alongside 'robocopy'.
- Provide example commands for both Windows (robocopy) and Linux (smbclient, mount.cifs, rsync) to ensure parity.
- When listing tools, alternate the order or group by platform (e.g., 'For Windows: robocopy; For Linux: smbclient, mount.cifs').
- Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux clients are supported for SMB migration, and link to relevant documentation for each platform.
- Consider adding a table comparing migration tools for both NFS and SMB, with columns for Windows and Linux/Unix options.
