Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows environments. All migration instructions assume the use of Windows Server, Windows VMs, and Windows-native tools such as Robocopy and PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Invoke-StorageSyncFileRecall). There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based file servers, nor are cross-platform tools or Linux commands mentioned. Windows-specific migration tools (Storage Migration Service) are referenced without Linux alternatives, and all example commands use Windows syntax.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux-based file servers, including mounting Azure file shares on Linux and performing migrations.
- Include cross-platform tools (e.g., rsync, azcopy) for file copy operations, with example commands for Linux/macOS.
- Mention Linux-compatible Azure File Sync agent support or clarify platform limitations.
- Provide guidance for managing permissions and SMB shares on Linux, including mapping ACLs and handling share-level permissions.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows approaches are introduced together or in parallel sections.
