Summary
The documentation page exhibits a clear Windows bias. Windows terminology, tools, and examples (especially PowerShell) are prioritized throughout. Many advanced configuration and troubleshooting steps are described only for Windows, with PowerShell commands and Windows registry edits, while equivalent Linux (or macOS) guidance is missing. Even when cross-platform tools like Azure CLI are shown, Windows-specific client configuration (e.g., Set-SmbClientConfiguration) is referenced, and there is little to no mention of Linux SMB client configuration or troubleshooting. References to file system features and limitations are also Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add Linux (and macOS) client configuration and troubleshooting steps for SMB Multichannel and SMB security settings, including examples for modifying smb.conf and using tools like smbclient or mount.cifs.
- When describing how to set SMB channel encryption or protocol versions, include Linux equivalents (e.g., specifying vers=3.1.1, client min protocol, or cipher settings in smb.conf or mount options).
- For advanced features or limitations, clarify how they apply to Linux clients and tools, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
- Balance PowerShell examples with equivalent Bash/Linux shell commands where possible, especially for client-side configuration.
- When referencing Windows tools or registry edits, provide a parallel section for Linux (and macOS) users, or explicitly state if a feature is not configurable on non-Windows clients.
- In all lists and scenarios, avoid assuming Windows as the default; mention Linux and macOS clients equally, and provide parity in guidance and examples.
