Summary
The documentation page is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. It references Windows Server features (such as NTFS, StorageSync.sys, and Data Deduplication), uses Windows terminology (Event Viewer, reparse points, NTFS attributes), and provides instructions and examples only for Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets like Invoke-StorageSyncFileRecall). There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or mentions of how cloud tiering works on non-Windows platforms, nor any cross-platform guidance.
Recommendations
- Add explicit statements about platform support, clarifying whether Azure File Sync cloud tiering is available or not on Linux and other OSes.
- If Linux support exists, provide equivalent examples and instructions for Linux environments, including relevant commands, file system details, and troubleshooting steps.
- Include Linux-specific terminology and tools (e.g., ext4/XFS file systems, Linux event logging, relevant CLI commands) where appropriate.
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, make this clear at the beginning of the documentation to set expectations for cross-platform users.
- Avoid using Windows-centric terms (NTFS, Event Viewer, PowerShell) exclusively; provide cross-platform context or alternatives where possible.
