Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows terminology, tools, and use cases throughout. Windows-specific features, protocols, and administrative patterns are mentioned first or exclusively (e.g., NTFS semantics, Hyper-V, MS SQL Server, VSS, LMHOSTS, NTLMv2, Windows quota semantics, and references to Windows documentation). There is a lack of Linux-specific examples, tools, or guidance for configuring or accessing SMB shares from Linux clients. The only mention of Linux is in the context of 'UNIX extensions' and mapping Windows administrators to root, with no practical Linux usage or configuration details provided.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux client configuration examples for connecting to Azure NetApp Files SMB shares (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or GUI tools).
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting tips and references to relevant Linux documentation.
- Balance references to Windows features with equivalent Linux/NFS features where possible, or clarify when features are Windows-only.
- Provide guidance on dual-protocol (NFS/SMB) usage from Linux clients, including permission mapping and expected behaviors.
- Mention Linux tools for managing SMB shares (e.g., Samba utilities) alongside Windows tools.
- Clarify differences in file system semantics (e.g., delete behavior, file permissions) between Windows and Linux clients.
