Summary:
The documentation page for creating an SMB volume in Azure NetApp Files demonstrates a Windows-centric bias. All examples and instructions for managing SMB permissions and shares are exclusively presented using Windows tools (MMC, Windows SMB client), with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The workflow assumes the use of Windows environments and omits guidance for Linux users who may need to access or manage SMB shares.
Recommendations:
- Include examples and instructions for accessing and managing SMB shares from Linux clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Linux file managers).
- Provide guidance on setting SMB permissions from Linux systems, such as using setfacl or smbclient's 'chmod' and 'chown' commands where applicable.
- Mention and document cross-platform tools and approaches for SMB management, ensuring parity for Linux and macOS users.
- Rephrase sections that refer to 'Windows SMB client' or 'Windows File Browser' to include Linux and macOS equivalents, or clarify that the instructions are specific to Windows and provide links to Linux/macOS documentation.
- Add troubleshooting and best practices for Linux SMB clients, including known compatibility notes and mount options.
