Summary:
The documentation mentions both Linux (rsync) and Windows (robocopy) tools for file-based migration, but the examples and tool references are not fully balanced. Robocopy (a Windows tool) is specifically called out for SMB workloads, while rsync is mentioned for NFS. There are no explicit Linux-native SMB migration tool examples (such as smbclient or cifs-utils), and the only SMB example is robocopy, which is Windows-specific. Additionally, the order of presentation sometimes puts Windows tools or patterns first, and there is a lack of parity in example depth for Linux-based SMB migration.
Recommendations:
- Add Linux-native SMB migration tool examples (e.g., smbclient, cifs-utils, or Linux rsync with SMB mounts) alongside robocopy for SMB workloads.
- Ensure that both Windows and Linux tools are presented together and with equal detail for both NFS and SMB scenarios.
- Where possible, provide cross-platform command examples or clarify the OS context for each tool.
- Consider including a table or section explicitly comparing migration tool options for both Windows and Linux environments.
