Summary:
The documentation for creating an SMB volume in Azure NetApp Files demonstrates a Windows bias. All examples and instructions for managing SMB permissions and shares are provided exclusively for Windows environments, referencing Windows tools such as MMC and the Windows Security tab. There are no examples or guidance for managing SMB shares or permissions from Linux or macOS clients, nor are cross-platform tools or commands mentioned. The documentation assumes the administrator is using a Windows client for all SMB management tasks.
Recommendations:
- Include instructions and examples for managing SMB shares and permissions from Linux clients, such as using smbclient, mount.cifs, or setfacl.
- Mention and provide examples of cross-platform tools (e.g., Samba utilities) for accessing and managing SMB shares.
- Where Windows-specific tools are referenced (e.g., MMC, Security tab), add equivalent steps or notes for Linux/macOS environments, or clarify if certain features are only available via Windows.
- In sections about mounting or accessing SMB shares, provide both Windows and Linux command-line examples.
- Review and update the documentation to ensure Linux and macOS administrators can perform all necessary tasks without requiring access to a Windows machine.
