Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. In the 'Work with Azure Files using System.IO' section, all code examples use a Windows-style SMB path (e.g., Z:\file-share) and do not provide Linux path equivalents or examples. The mounting instructions reference both Windows and Linux, but the code and narrative consistently default to Windows conventions. There are no Linux-specific code samples or guidance for using NFS mounts or Linux file paths with System.IO, despite Azure Files supporting NFS and Linux clients.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel code examples using Linux-style paths (e.g., '/mnt/file-share') and demonstrate System.IO usage with NFS-mounted shares on Linux.
  • Explicitly mention and show how to mount Azure Files shares on Linux, including sample mount commands and .NET code using Linux paths.
  • Where examples use Windows-specific conventions (such as drive letters), add equivalent Linux examples and clarify platform differences.
  • Ensure that instructions and examples for mounting and accessing shares do not default to Windows, but present both platforms equally.
  • Add troubleshooting notes or platform-specific caveats for both Windows and Linux to help developers avoid common issues.
