Summary:
The documentation generally presents Windows/SMB concepts and terminology before or with more detail than Linux/NFS equivalents, especially in areas like authentication, permissions, and supported tools. Windows-centric tools and patterns (Active Directory, NTFS ACLs, Kerberos/NTLM, SID translation) are discussed in depth, while Linux/UNIX tools (Samba, POSIX ACLs, idmapd, nfs-utils) are mentioned less prominently or only in passing. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples for NFS or dual-protocol scenarios, and official support is only noted for Windows/macOS SMB clients, not Linux/Samba. This may leave Linux administrators with less actionable guidance.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux/UNIX command-line examples (e.g., mounting NFS/SMB shares, checking permissions, troubleshooting identity mapping) alongside any Windows/Powershell examples.
- Discuss Linux/UNIX tools and patterns (such as Samba configuration, POSIX ACL management, idmapd, nfs-utils) in equal depth as Windows tools (Active Directory, NTFS ACLs).
- Clarify support status and best practices for Linux/Samba SMB clients, including any limitations or recommended configurations.
- Ensure that Linux/UNIX terminology (e.g., POSIX ACLs, mode bits, LDAP integration) is introduced and explained with the same prominence as Windows/NTFS concepts.
- Add troubleshooting and configuration guidance for common Linux/UNIX scenarios, such as resolving UID/GID mismatches, configuring LDAP, or managing dual-protocol permissions from a Linux perspective.
