Summary
The documentation demonstrates moderate Windows bias. SMB is described primarily in the context of Windows, with official support only for Windows and macOS, and Linux (Samba) noted as unofficially supported. Windows terminology (NTFS ACLs, SID translation, Active Directory) is used throughout, and Windows tools and patterns (e.g., NTLM, Kerberos as configured in Windows) are referenced before Linux equivalents. There are no Linux-specific configuration examples for SMB, nor are Linux tools or troubleshooting steps for dual-protocol environments provided. The only command-line example given is for NFS (rpcinfo), with no equivalent for SMB or dual-protocol access from Linux clients.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/Samba configuration and troubleshooting examples for SMB access, including guidance for common distributions.
- Explicitly mention and document how Linux clients (using Samba) can connect to SMB shares, including any limitations and workarounds.
- Include Linux-focused examples for dual-protocol scenarios, such as user mapping and ACL management from Linux clients.
- Balance terminology by referencing both Windows and Linux/UNIX concepts (e.g., NTFS ACLs and POSIX ACLs) equally.
- Add Linux command-line examples for SMB access (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs) and for dual-protocol volume access.
- Clarify support status and provide guidance for Linux users where official support is lacking.
