Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples, tools, and troubleshooting steps reference Windows environments, utilities, and protocols (e.g., MMC, Active Directory Users and Computers, Windows Server DFS, Windows Update KBs). There are no examples or guidance for Linux or non-Windows clients, and Linux tools or mounting procedures are not mentioned. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric audience and omits cross-platform considerations.
Recommendations
- Add examples and instructions for accessing Azure NetApp Files SMB shares from Linux clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or gvfs).
- Include troubleshooting steps and best practices for Linux environments, such as clock synchronization and credential management.
- Mention Linux-compatible tools for managing SMB shares, sessions, and open files (e.g., smbstatus, cifs-utils).
- When referencing features like DFS or MMC, note Linux alternatives or clarify cross-platform limitations.
- Provide parity in documentation by including both Windows and Linux procedures side-by-side where relevant.
- Explicitly state any limitations or differences in SMB support for Linux clients, if applicable.
