Summary:
The documentation mentions both Linux and Windows VMs as supported clients for Azure NetApp Files, and describes both SMB (Windows) and NFS (Linux) protocols. However, it lacks concrete, step-by-step examples or command-line instructions for mounting shares on either platform. Where mounting is discussed, Windows (SMB) is mentioned first, and the only mounting instructions for Linux are vague references to 'command lines or /etc/fstab entries' without examples. No Linux-specific commands or screenshots are provided, and the documentation does not show parity in practical guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit, step-by-step examples for mounting NFS shares on Linux VMs, including sample mount commands and /etc/fstab entries.
- Provide equivalent, detailed instructions for mapping SMB shares on Windows VMs, including screenshots or command-line examples (e.g., using 'net use' or Windows Explorer).
- Ensure that Linux and Windows instructions are presented with equal prominence, ideally in parallel sections or side-by-side.
- Include troubleshooting tips or common issues for both Linux and Windows clients.
- Where protocols are discussed, avoid always listing Windows/SMB first; alternate or present both together to avoid perceived prioritization.
