Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All prerequisites, drive preparation steps, and tooling (BitLocker, WAImportExport tool) are Windows-only, with no mention of Linux or macOS support. Command-line examples for drive preparation use Windows tools and PowerShell, and there is no guidance for performing these steps on Linux. Even file system requirements (NTFS, BitLocker) are Windows-centric, and enabling long paths is discussed only for Windows clients.
Recommendations
- Clearly state if the Azure Import/Export tool and process are Windows-only, or provide guidance for Linux/macOS users if supported.
- If Linux is supported, add equivalent instructions for preparing disks (e.g., using LUKS for encryption, ext4/xfs file systems, mounting and copying data) and provide Linux command-line examples.
- Mention alternative disk encryption and file system options for non-Windows platforms, or clarify limitations.
- Include troubleshooting and best practices for Linux users, such as handling long file paths and drive unlocking.
- If the WAImportExport tool is not available for Linux, suggest alternative workflows or explicitly state the lack of support.
