Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways. Troubleshooting guidance and error resolutions for SMB and dual-protocol volumes are heavily oriented toward Active Directory (AD), Microsoft Entra Domain Services, and Windows-centric concepts. PowerShell is referenced as the primary tool for managing Kerberos encryption types, with no Linux equivalent commands provided. In sections involving NFS and Kerberos, Linux commands are mentioned, but only after Windows/AD-centric steps. There are no explicit Linux or open-source directory service examples, and Windows/AD tools and terminology are used exclusively or introduced before any Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples (e.g., using ldapsearch, kinit, or samba-tool) alongside PowerShell commands for managing Kerberos and AD objects.
  • Include troubleshooting steps for common Linux-based directory services (such as OpenLDAP or Samba AD) where relevant.
  • When discussing AD user/group membership, mention how to check or modify these attributes using Linux tools.
  • Present Linux/NFS troubleshooting steps before or alongside Windows/AD steps, especially in dual-protocol scenarios.
  • Clarify which steps are OS-agnostic and which are specific to Windows or Linux, and structure documentation so that Linux users can easily find relevant guidance.
  • Add explicit examples for mounting volumes on Linux clients (e.g., using mount, nfs-utils) and troubleshooting permissions or Kerberos issues from a Linux perspective.
