Summary:
The documentation generally maintains parity between Windows and Linux by mentioning both rsync (Linux/Unix) and robocopy (Windows) as migration tools. However, in both migration-related sections, the SMB/Windows tool (robocopy) is mentioned after the NFS/Linux tool (rsync), but the phrasing 'workloads tools such as rsync' and 'workloads robocopy in the same manner' may subtly prioritize Linux tools for NFS and Windows tools for SMB. There is no explicit PowerShell or Windows-only example, but robocopy (a Windows tool) is the only SMB migration tool mentioned, with no Linux-based SMB alternatives (e.g., smbclient, cifs-utils) provided. There are no command-line examples for either platform, but the documentation could be seen as slightly Windows-biased for SMB scenarios by only mentioning robocopy.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-based SMB migration tools (e.g., smbclient, cifs-utils, or mount.cifs with cp/rsync) alongside robocopy when discussing SMB data migration.
- Provide example commands for both Windows and Linux platforms for common migration scenarios (NFS and SMB).
- Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux clients can be used for SMB migration, and list equivalent tools for each.
- Consider a table or matrix summarizing migration tools for both NFS and SMB, with platform compatibility clearly indicated.
