Summary:
The documentation exclusively references Windows systems and PowerShell commands for verifying SMB Continuous Availability. There are no examples or instructions for Linux clients, nor are Linux tools or workflows mentioned. The reboot step explicitly refers to 'Windows systems', and the verification step uses a Windows-only PowerShell cmdlet.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent instructions for Linux clients, such as how to remount SMB shares or restart relevant services after enabling CA.
- Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., using smbstatus, smbclient, or mount options) to verify CA status from a Linux system.
- Clarify whether CA is relevant or supported for non-Windows SMB clients, and if not, state this explicitly.
- Avoid assuming all users are on Windows by using more neutral language (e.g., 'client systems' instead of 'Windows systems') where appropriate.
- If certain features or verification steps are only available on Windows, note this clearly and provide any possible alternatives for Linux users.
