Summary
The documentation provides many examples and instructions that are Windows-centric, such as registry edits, PowerShell commands, and references to Windows File Explorer and Windows-specific attributes. Windows tools and workflows (cmd, PowerShell, File Explorer, registry edits) are described in detail, while Linux/macOS equivalents are rarely mentioned or omitted. NFS and Linux tools are referenced only in the NFS section, and there are few concrete Linux/macOS examples for common tasks like credential management, ACLs, or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS equivalents for credential management, file attribute inspection, and ACL management (e.g., using mount, smbclient, getfacl/setfacl, etc.).
- Provide examples for mounting/unmounting Azure Files shares on Linux/macOS, including troubleshooting steps.
- Include Linux/macOS commands for inspecting alternate data streams (if relevant) or clarify their absence.
- Where PowerShell or Windows registry edits are described, note that these steps are Windows-only and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users if possible.
- Balance the order of examples so that Linux/macOS instructions are presented alongside or before Windows instructions where applicable.
