Summary:
The documentation provides mounting instructions for both Linux and Windows clients, but there are subtle biases. The Windows section is presented after the Linux section, but the Windows mounting example references a prerequisite step that must be performed on a Unix/Linux VM (chmod), which may not be intuitive for Windows-only administrators. The Windows example references the Windows 'Mount' command but does not provide a PowerShell example or alternative. The Linux section is more detailed and includes explicit mount command examples, while the Windows section is less comprehensive and omits troubleshooting or advanced options. There is also a lack of parity in the depth of guidance for each platform.
Recommendations:
- Provide a more detailed Windows mounting section, including troubleshooting tips and advanced mount options similar to the Linux section.
- Offer PowerShell examples for Windows users, not just the legacy 'Mount' command.
- Clarify the cross-platform prerequisite (chmod on Linux/Unix) for Windows administrators, and suggest alternatives if the user does not have access to a Linux VM.
- Ensure that both Linux and Windows sections include comparable detail, including fstab (Linux) and persistent mount (Windows) instructions.
- Consider reordering or clearly separating platform-specific instructions to avoid confusion and ensure parity.
