Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows-centric tools (RoboCopy, Azure File Sync, Storage Migration Service) are emphasized and described in detail, while Linux migration scenarios are minimally addressed. Windows tools are listed first and in more depth, and helper tools like TreeSize are Windows-only. Linux migration is only mentioned as a single row in a table, with no detailed guidance or examples. There are no Linux command-line examples or tool walkthroughs, and the preservation of Linux-specific metadata or permissions is not discussed.
Recommendations
- Provide detailed migration examples and walkthroughs for Linux SMB sources, including recommended tools (e.g., rsync, cifs-utils, or third-party tools) and step-by-step instructions.
- Discuss Linux file system metadata and how it maps to Azure Files, including any limitations or differences compared to NTFS/Windows ACLs.
- Include Linux/macOS command-line examples for mounting Azure file shares and performing migrations.
- Highlight any Linux-specific considerations (e.g., character encoding, case sensitivity, symlink handling) in migration scenarios.
- Balance the order of presentation so Linux and Windows scenarios/tools are given equal prominence.
- List and describe helper tools available for Linux environments (e.g., du, find, stat, or open-source alternatives to TreeSize).
