Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by mentioning Windows tools (Robocopy) first, providing a link only for Robocopy, and generally prioritizing Windows terminology and patterns. Linux/Unix tools (cp, rsync) are mentioned only as alternatives, with no detailed examples or links. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows file sharing paths (\\<IP>\ShareName) without providing equivalent NFS mount instructions for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/Unix command-line examples for copying data (e.g., using cp, rsync, or NFS mount commands).
- Include links to documentation for Linux/Unix tools (e.g., rsync manual, NFS documentation), similar to the Robocopy link for Windows.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, rather than listing Windows first or exclusively.
- Clarify SMB vs NFS usage, and provide guidance for mounting NFS shares on Linux.
- Use neutral language (e.g., 'host computer' instead of 'Windows host') and avoid assuming the user is on Windows.
- Add troubleshooting tips or references for common Linux issues (e.g., permissions, SELinux, firewall) when connecting to Data Box shares.
