Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows terminology and tools (e.g., PowerShell, registry keys, Set-SmbClientConfiguration) are used exclusively or explained in detail, especially for advanced SMB features and security settings. All client-side configuration examples for enabling encryption ciphers or SMB Multichannel fixes are for Windows, with no Linux (or macOS) equivalents provided. Windows-based application scenarios are highlighted before others, and Windows-specific limitations and references are frequent. Linux is only mentioned in passing, with no concrete examples or parity in advanced configuration guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux (and macOS) client configuration examples for SMB Multichannel, encryption ciphers, and other advanced SMB features, using tools like smb.conf, mount.cifs, or relevant commands.
- When discussing client-side requirements or fixes (e.g., enabling SMB Multichannel, setting encryption ciphers), include both Windows and Linux/macOS instructions, or explicitly state if a feature is not supported on non-Windows platforms.
- Balance scenario descriptions by including Linux-based application use cases and not focusing primarily on Windows-based workloads.
- Reference Linux and macOS documentation and tools (e.g., Samba, cifs-utils) alongside Windows tools when discussing SMB protocol support, security, and compatibility.
- Where PowerShell is used for Azure management, ensure that Azure CLI and REST API examples are equally detailed and not just a translation of PowerShell scripts.
- Explicitly mention any feature gaps or differences for Linux/macOS clients, and provide troubleshooting or workaround guidance where possible.
