Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Many features and examples reference Windows-specific tools, protocols, and workflows (e.g., FSCTLs, VSS, Hyper-V, NTFS semantics, Windows administrators mapped to UNIX root, and references to Windows documentation). Linux/macOS client scenarios are rarely mentioned, and when they are (e.g., UNIX extensions), they are described as disabled or unsupported. There are no Linux/macOS-specific configuration examples, troubleshooting steps, or parity notes. Windows terminology and references (e.g., NTFS, LMHOSTS, NetBIOS, Previous Versions tab, Explorer window) are used throughout, often without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit sections or examples for Linux/macOS clients, including how to mount SMB shares, handle permissions, and troubleshoot common issues.
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific configuration notes, especially regarding dual-protocol volumes and POSIX/UNIX permissions.
  • Balance references to Windows tools (e.g., FSCTLs, VSS, Hyper-V) with Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., Samba, cifs-utils, NFS utilities).
  • Clarify which features are relevant or available for Linux/macOS clients, and provide guidance for mixed environments.
  • Where Windows documentation is linked, provide equivalent links or notes for Linux/macOS documentation or man pages.
