Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows terminology, tools, and privileges (e.g., SeBackupPrivilege, Administrator/SYSTEM accounts) and providing detailed instructions and outcomes for Windows clients. Linux clients are mentioned only in passing, with limited detail and no Linux-specific examples or guidance. Windows NT ACLs are referenced as the only ACLs transferred from Linux clients, but there is no explanation of Linux ACLs or how to handle them. There are no Linux command-line examples or parity in troubleshooting or configuration steps.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux command-line examples for copying data with ACLs, attributes, and timestamps (e.g., using smbclient, rsync, or cp with appropriate flags).
- Clarify what happens to Linux-specific ACLs and extended attributes during transfer, and how users can verify or preserve them.
- Include troubleshooting steps and error messages relevant to Linux environments.
- Discuss Linux privilege requirements (e.g., root, sudo) for copying SACLs or other metadata, analogous to SeBackupPrivilege in Windows.
- List Linux default ACLs and how they map (or do not map) to Azure Files.
- Ensure Linux tools and patterns are mentioned with equal prominence and detail as Windows equivalents.
