Summary:
The documentation generally presents Windows/SMB concepts and tools before or with more detail than Linux/NFS equivalents. Windows terminology (e.g., NTFS, SID, NTLM) is explained in depth, while Linux/UNIX-specific tools and configuration examples are minimal or absent. Official support is emphasized for Windows and macOS SMB clients, but Linux SMB (Samba) is mentioned as unsupported, with no guidance or examples. There are no Linux command-line examples for NFS or SMB usage, and Windows-centric patterns (Active Directory, NTFS ACLs) are foregrounded.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux command-line examples for both NFS and SMB (e.g., show how to mount NFS and SMB shares from Linux clients, including required packages and configuration).
- Include parity in tool references: if referencing Windows tools (e.g., NTFS, SID, NTLM), also reference and explain Linux/UNIX equivalents (e.g., POSIX ACLs, UID/GID, Kerberos setup on Linux).
- Offer troubleshooting tips and configuration steps for Linux clients (e.g., Samba configuration for SMB, idmapd.conf for NFSv4, LDAP integration).
- Clarify the support status for Linux SMB clients and provide best-effort guidance or links to community resources.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux/NFS and Windows/SMB are treated equally, or alternate which is presented first in each section.
- Add explicit Linux-focused 'Next steps' or quickstart links, similar to those for Windows/SMB.
