Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a significant Windows bias. Most operational examples, troubleshooting steps, and tool references are Windows-centric, with frequent use of Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, cmd, regedit, File Explorer, icacls, net use, cmdkey) and patterns. Linux is mentioned in the introduction and in NFS contexts, but there are no Linux-specific operational examples or parity in instructions for common tasks (such as credential removal, file attribute management, or ACL inspection). The documentation assumes the reader is using Windows for Azure File Sync and SMB scenarios, and only provides Linux tooling guidance in the NFS section.
Recommendations
- For every PowerShell or Windows command (e.g., Get-ChildItem, Get-ACL, net use, cmdkey, reg add), provide equivalent Linux/macOS commands where applicable (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, setfacl, getfacl, or shell scripts).
- When discussing file attribute management, include Linux equivalents (e.g., using lsattr, chattr, or stat for file attributes).
- For credential management, describe how to clear or manage SMB credentials on Linux/macOS (e.g., using the 'mount' command with different credentials, or clearing credentials from the kernel keyring).
- When referencing File Explorer or Windows UI, also mention how to perform similar tasks in Linux desktop environments (e.g., using Nautilus, Dolphin, or command-line tools).
- In sections about auditing, ACLs, and access control, provide guidance for Linux environments (e.g., using auditd, setfacl/getfacl, or syslog for auditing and permissions).
- Explicitly call out any features or limitations that are Windows-only, and provide Linux/macOS alternatives or workarounds where possible.
- Reorganize sections to avoid always presenting Windows/PowerShell instructions first; consider parallel presentation or alternating order.
