Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All file copy examples use Windows-native tools (Robocopy, File Explorer), and the Data Box Disk Split Copy and Validation tools are only available for Windows. There are no Linux-specific examples or equivalent Linux tool recommendations for copying or validating data. Linux users are only briefly mentioned, with no guidance or parity in tooling or workflow.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples for copying data, such as using cp, rsync, or smbclient.
- Document how to mount Data Box Disks on Linux, including any required SMB/CIFS options.
- Recommend and provide examples of Linux-compatible checksum/validation tools (e.g., sha256sum, md5sum) and describe how to use them for data integrity verification.
- Clarify any limitations or differences for Linux users, and offer troubleshooting steps specific to Linux environments.
- Where Windows-only tools are referenced, suggest open-source or cross-platform alternatives where possible.
- Ensure that screenshots and walkthroughs include Linux desktop or CLI environments where appropriate.
