Summary:
The documentation shows a Windows bias in the data copy section, where Windows tools (Robocopy) are mentioned first and in more detail, with a direct link to Robocopy documentation. Linux/Unix equivalents (cp, rsync) are mentioned only as alternatives for NFS hosts, with no further explanation or links. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows SMB paths and tools. No Linux-specific troubleshooting or mounting instructions are provided.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux/Unix command-line examples for copying data (e.g., mounting SMB shares with mount.cifs, using rsync/cp for both SMB and NFS).
- Include links to Linux/Unix documentation for relevant tools (e.g., rsync, mount.cifs, NFS client setup).
- Mention Linux/Unix tools and workflows before or alongside Windows tools to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
- Add troubleshooting tips for Linux/Unix environments (e.g., handling SMB credentials, SELinux, firewall issues).
- Clarify that both Windows and Linux hosts are supported, and provide parity in detail and guidance for both platforms.
