Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. Most examples, troubleshooting steps, and tool references are exclusively for Windows environments (e.g., MMC, Active Directory Users and Computers, Windows Server, Windows updates, DFS Namespace). There is little to no mention of Linux clients, tools, or configuration patterns, and no Linux-specific examples or troubleshooting guidance are provided. The documentation assumes the reader is operating in a Windows-centric ecosystem, omitting parity for Linux SMB clients and management tools.
Recommendations
- Add examples and troubleshooting steps for accessing Azure NetApp Files SMB shares from Linux clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Nautilus).
- Include Linux equivalents for management tasks, such as modifying share permissions or viewing open files (e.g., using setfacl, getfacl, or smbstatus).
- Reference Linux authentication and integration patterns, such as joining SMB shares to Samba or using Kerberos from Linux.
- Provide guidance on configuring clock synchronization and network authentication on Linux systems.
- Mention Linux support for SMB features (e.g., offline files, DFS-N, Alternate Data Streams) and note any limitations or differences.
- Balance references to Windows tools (MMC, ADUC, PowerShell) with Linux alternatives or note when features are Windows-only.
