Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. All migration steps assume the use of Windows Server, Windows VMs, and Windows-native tools such as Robocopy and PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Invoke-StorageSyncFileRecall). There are no examples or instructions for performing these migrations from Linux clients or using Linux tools. The documentation references Windows-specific services like Storage Migration Service and does not mention Linux alternatives or cross-platform approaches.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent migration instructions for Linux environments, including mounting Azure file shares on Linux and using Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, cp, azcopy).
- Include Linux command-line examples for copying files between shares, such as rsync or azcopy usage.
- Mention how to install and use Azure File Sync agent or alternatives on Linux, or clarify its Windows-only support.
- Reference Linux SMB client configuration for mounting Azure file shares.
- Add troubleshooting and monitoring guidance for Linux users.
- Clearly indicate any limitations or requirements for Linux environments in Azure File Sync scenarios.
