Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows terminology, tools, and examples throughout. Features and behaviors are described primarily in terms of Windows technologies (Active Directory, NTFS, Hyper-V, MS SQL Server, VSS, etc.), with little to no mention of Linux or macOS client configuration or usage. Windows-specific features and limitations are listed first and in detail, while Linux equivalents (such as UNIX extensions, POSIX permissions, or Samba client configuration) are either omitted or briefly mentioned as unsupported. There are no Linux or cross-platform usage examples, and references to configuration or troubleshooting are almost exclusively Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and guidance for connecting to Azure NetApp Files SMB shares from Linux and macOS clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Finder).
- Include configuration details for Linux-based SMB clients, such as Kerberos setup, mounting options, and troubleshooting common issues.
- Discuss SMB features and limitations from a Linux/macOS perspective, including how unsupported features (like UNIX extensions) affect Linux clients.
- Balance references to Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, NTFS, Hyper-V) with Linux equivalents (e.g., Samba, ext4, KVM/QEMU) where applicable.
- Provide parity in examples and troubleshooting steps for both Windows and Linux environments.
