Bias Analysis

Summary:
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias by listing the Windows-specific tool 'robocopy' as the primary example for SMB data migration, while only mentioning the Linux/Unix tool 'rsync' for NFS. There are no explicit PowerShell-heavy examples or missing Linux examples, but the pattern of pairing rsync with NFS and robocopy with SMB implicitly assumes Windows for SMB workloads and Linux/Unix for NFS, without mentioning cross-platform alternatives or Linux SMB tools. Additionally, robocopy is referenced before any Linux-based SMB copy tools, and no Linux-native SMB migration tools (such as smbclient or cifs-utils) are mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-native SMB copy tools (e.g., smbclient, cifs-utils, or mount.cifs with rsync/cp) as alternatives to robocopy for SMB migrations.
- Explicitly state that both rsync and robocopy are examples, and mention that cross-platform tools exist for both NFS and SMB.
- Provide example commands or links for both Windows and Linux environments for both NFS and SMB scenarios.
- Avoid implying that SMB is only for Windows and NFS is only for Linux/Unix by clarifying that both protocols can be accessed from multiple operating systems.
