Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by consistently mentioning SMB (a Windows protocol) before NFS (a Linux/UNIX protocol) in several sections, and by providing more detailed explanations for SMB/Windows-specific features (such as ACLs and permission inheritance). There are no explicit Linux command-line or configuration examples, and the integration with Active Directory (a Windows-centric directory service) is highlighted without mention of alternatives. Linux/UNIX tools, commands, or perspectives are underrepresented or missing.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of SMB and NFS discussions to avoid always foregrounding Windows technologies.
- Provide concrete Linux/UNIX command-line examples (e.g., using chmod, setfacl, or mount commands for NFS permissions and inheritance).
- Include references or examples for integrating with non-Active Directory LDAP servers (such as OpenLDAP) if supported, or clarify if only Windows-based directory services are available.
- Expand on NFS advanced permissions and inheritance with practical Linux examples, not just theoretical descriptions.
- Where possible, add parity in detail and depth between SMB (Windows) and NFS (Linux/UNIX) sections, ensuring both audiences are equally served.
