Summary
The documentation generally maintains cross-platform coverage but exhibits subtle Windows bias. Windows terminology (e.g., VHD, SMB, Storage Spaces) is used as the default, with Linux equivalents (e.g., LVM, NFS) often mentioned second or in parentheses. Some examples and recommendations (such as striping with Windows Storage Spaces) are given for Windows first, with Linux alternatives referenced later. There is a lack of explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., LVM setup), and some sections (e.g., high availability guides) link to Windows documentation before Linux. The documentation refers to Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., SMB, Storage Spaces) more frequently and in more detail than their Linux counterparts.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux examples and command-line instructions (e.g., LVM striping, NFS mounting) alongside Windows/Powershell examples.
  • Ensure Linux tools and patterns (e.g., LVM, NFS) are described with equal detail and prominence as Windows tools (e.g., Storage Spaces, SMB).
  • When listing supported scenarios or guides, alternate the order between Windows and Linux, or present them together, to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Include links to Linux-specific documentation and troubleshooting guides as prominently as Windows equivalents.
  • Clarify platform-specific recommendations (e.g., for striping, high availability) with step-by-step instructions for both Windows and Linux.
