Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows terminology, tools, and behaviors. Windows ACLs and privileges (such as SeBackupPrivilege) are discussed in detail, with references to Windows accounts and error messages. Linux is mentioned only in passing, with limited details and no concrete Linux copy tool examples. The documentation lacks Linux-specific guidance and does not provide parity in instructions or troubleshooting for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux copy tool examples (e.g., smbclient, rsync with SMB, or mount.cifs) and instructions for preserving ACLs, attributes, and timestamps.
- Clarify what 'Windows NT ACLs' means for Linux users and how Linux ACLs map to Azure Files.
- Provide troubleshooting steps and error messages relevant to Linux clients.
- Discuss Linux-specific limitations and workarounds in detail, not just as a footnote.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side or in parallel sections for equal visibility.
