Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, with all examples, instructions, and tooling based on Windows Server, PowerShell, and Windows DNS. There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives provided, and Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively and first throughout the page.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state DFS-N is a Windows-only technology early in the document, if applicable, or clarify cross-platform limitations.
- Provide guidance for Linux clients accessing DFS-N namespaces, including any limitations or configuration steps.
- Mention alternative cross-platform namespace/virtualization solutions (e.g., NFS referrals, autofs, or third-party tools) for Linux environments.
- If possible, include examples of mounting Azure Files SMB shares from Linux clients and discuss how they interact with DFS-N namespaces.
- Add a section comparing DFS-N with Linux equivalents, or at least acknowledge the lack of Linux support and suggest alternatives.
- Clarify that all management and configuration steps are performed on Windows Server, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation for Azure Files.
