Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All migration instructions and tooling references are centered around Windows environments, such as Windows Server, PowerShell cmdlets, and Robocopy. There is no mention of Linux-based alternatives, nor are there examples or guidance for performing migrations from Linux clients or using cross-platform tools. Windows terminology and patterns (e.g., drive letters, Windows VMs, Storage Migration Service) are used exclusively and presented as the default or only option.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux migration instructions, including examples using SMB mounting and file copy tools such as rsync or cp.
- Mention and demonstrate how to mount Azure file shares on Linux (using cifs-utils or smbclient).
- Provide PowerShell and Bash/CLI examples side-by-side for key steps, such as recalling tiered files and copying data.
- Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., azcopy, rsync) for file migration, and explain their usage in Azure File Sync scenarios.
- Clarify any Azure File Sync agent support or limitations for Linux, and provide guidance for hybrid or Linux-only environments.
- Avoid assuming Windows-only environments by using neutral terminology (e.g., 'local server' instead of 'Windows Server', 'mount point' instead of drive letters).
