Summary
The documentation is strongly oriented toward Windows environments. It references Windows Server features (NTFS, Event Viewer, Windows Server data deduplication), Windows-specific attributes (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_RECALL_ON_DATA_ACCESS), and PowerShell cmdlets (Invoke-StorageSyncFileRecall) without mentioning Linux or macOS equivalents or support. There are no examples or guidance for non-Windows platforms, and all operational details assume a Windows file server context.
Recommendations
  • Clarify platform support: Explicitly state whether Azure File Sync and cloud tiering are supported on Linux/macOS, and if not, provide alternatives or guidance.
  • If Linux/macOS support exists, add equivalent examples and instructions for those platforms, including how to monitor, configure, and troubleshoot tiering.
  • Mention Linux file system attributes and tools where relevant, or note their absence.
  • Provide parity in troubleshooting steps, e.g., how to check tiering health or logs on Linux/macOS.
  • If only Windows is supported, make this clear early in the documentation to set user expectations.
