Summary:
The documentation does not provide any OS-specific examples or instructions, but it does mention SMB 3.0 with encryption as the recommended protocol for data-in-flight protection. While SMB is available on both Windows and Linux, the documentation does not clarify Linux compatibility or provide Linux-specific guidance or alternatives (such as NFS or rsync over SSH). There are no explicit Windows-only tools or PowerShell commands, but the lack of Linux-specific examples or mention may create an implicit bias toward Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention that SMB 3.0 with encryption is supported on both Windows and Linux, and provide links or brief instructions for enabling SMB encryption on Linux clients.
- Include Linux-specific examples or alternatives for secure data transfer, such as using NFS with Kerberos, rsync over SSH, or SFTP.
- Clarify any OS-specific requirements or limitations for connecting to the Data Box device, especially for Linux users.
- Add a section or note addressing Linux compatibility and best practices for Linux environments.
