Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by repeatedly referencing Windows-specific features and limitations (such as ReFS metadata and SMB protocol), describing the Data Box as a Windows-based device, and omitting Linux-specific guidance or examples. There are no Linux or cross-platform instructions or caveats, and Windows terminology is used exclusively when discussing file system and protocol compatibility.
Recommendations
- Include explicit information about Linux compatibility, such as supported file systems (e.g., ext4, XFS) and any caveats when using Data Box with Linux clients.
- Provide examples and limitations for both Windows and Linux environments, especially regarding file naming, protocol support (e.g., NFS vs SMB), and case sensitivity.
- Clarify whether features like ReFS metadata space consumption are relevant only to Windows or if there are analogous considerations for Linux file systems.
- Add a section or table comparing Windows and Linux behaviors and limitations when using Data Box.
- Mention Linux tools/utilities (e.g., rsync, NFS mount commands) alongside Windows tools where relevant.
