Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-centric tools and scenarios (such as Azure File Sync for Windows file servers) are described in detail and introduced before Linux/NFS equivalents. Windows protocols and tools (SMB, PowerShell, Robocopy) are mentioned more prominently and earlier than Linux alternatives (NFS, Rsync, DistCP), and examples or guidance for Linux environments are less detailed or absent. The documentation also highlights Windows-specific features (NTFS permissions, Windows Server protocols) without equivalent coverage for Linux file systems or migration patterns.
Recommendations
- Provide equal detail and step-by-step examples for Linux/NFS migration scenarios, including guidance for common Linux file servers and file systems.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., Rsync, DistCP) alongside Windows/PowerShell examples, and clarify their usage for Azure migration.
- Mention Linux tools and protocols (NFS, Rsync, etc.) before or alongside Windows equivalents in each relevant section.
- Expand coverage of metadata and permissions preservation for Linux file systems (e.g., POSIX ACLs) to match the detail given for NTFS.
- Add explicit recommendations and best practices for Linux-based environments, including troubleshooting and performance considerations.
- Ensure graphical and programmatic tool sections mention Linux compatibility and provide Linux-specific instructions where appropriate.
