Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. It references Windows-specific tools, features, and workflows (such as FSCTL codes, Hyper-V, MS SQL Server, NTFS semantics, and Windows client behaviors) throughout. Windows terminology and references appear first and are more detailed, while Linux/macOS equivalents are either missing, mentioned as exceptions, or described in less detail. There are no concrete Linux/macOS configuration or usage examples, and UNIX extensions are disabled by default. Most advanced features and troubleshooting guidance are tailored for Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and guidance for Linux/macOS SMB clients, including mounting instructions and troubleshooting.
- Include details on how Linux/macOS clients interact with Azure NetApp Files SMB shares, especially regarding permissions, file locking, and offline file behaviors.
- Balance references to Windows tools (like Hyper-V, NTFS, FSCTL codes) with Linux/macOS equivalents (such as Samba, cifs-utils, POSIX semantics).
- Clarify which features and limitations apply to non-Windows clients, and provide parity where possible.
- Document best practices for dual-protocol environments, including mapping between Windows and UNIX permissions.
