Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows migration tools (RoboCopy, Azure File Sync, Storage Migration Service) and providing detailed guidance and examples for Windows environments. Linux migration scenarios are mentioned but lack equivalent detail, examples, and tool coverage. Windows-specific tools and patterns are referenced first and more frequently, while Linux migration is limited to Azure Storage Mover with no practical examples or guidance. Several helper tools (TreeSize, RoboCopy) are Windows-only, and there is no mention of Linux-native file-copy tools or procedures.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific migration examples, such as using rsync, cifs-utils, or smbclient to copy files to Azure file shares.
- Provide step-by-step guides for Linux SMB migration, including mounting Azure file shares on Linux and preserving file fidelity.
- Include Linux-native tools in the migration tool comparison table and discuss their file fidelity capabilities.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows scenarios are given equal prominence.
- Reference Linux helper tools for file share analysis (e.g., du, ncdu, stat) alongside Windows tools like TreeSize.
- Clarify any limitations or differences in file fidelity when migrating from Linux SMB shares and suggest best practices.
