Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. Windows terminology and tools (e.g., VSS, Windows File Server, Windows properties dialog, Azure File Sync for Windows) are referenced as primary examples for features like snapshots and hybrid sync. The explanation of storage units highlights Windows behavior first and in more detail than Linux/macOS. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples, and references to Linux or NFS are limited to protocol support tables, not usage or tooling. No Linux-specific management tools or patterns are described, and PowerShell/CLI are mentioned for provisioning, but Linux equivalents are not shown.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-specific or cross-platform examples for common operations (e.g., mounting Azure Files via NFS, managing shares using Azure CLI on Linux).
  • Include references to Linux tools (e.g., cron for scheduling, rsync for migration, Linux file system commands for quota/size checks) where relevant.
  • Balance explanations of features like snapshots by mentioning Linux equivalents (e.g., LVM snapshots, btrfs/zfs snapshots) alongside Windows VSS.
  • Provide parity in migration and hybrid scenarios, such as mentioning third-party or open-source sync tools for Linux, not just Azure File Sync for Windows.
  • When discussing storage units and labeling, give equal detail to Linux/macOS behaviors and clarify how users can check units on those platforms.
