Summary
The documentation provides extensive PowerShell and Windows-specific guidance, especially for advanced SMB configuration (e.g., enabling SMB Multichannel on older OSes, setting encryption ciphers), but does not offer equivalent Linux/macOS client configuration examples. While Azure CLI examples are present (which are cross-platform), client-side instructions for Linux/macOS (such as how to configure SMB encryption or multichannel support) are missing. Windows terminology and tools (e.g., PowerShell, registry edits, Set-SmbClientConfiguration) are referenced exclusively or before any Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Add Linux and macOS client configuration examples for SMB Multichannel and SMB encryption settings, including how to check and enable these features using smb.conf or relevant tools.
- Where PowerShell or Windows registry edits are shown, provide analogous steps for Linux/macOS (or explicitly state if not supported).
- When referencing client-side configuration (e.g., setting encryption ciphers), include commands for Linux (e.g., using mount.cifs options or smb.conf parameters).
- Balance the order of examples so that Linux/macOS are not always listed after Windows, especially in sections not inherently Windows-specific.
- Clarify any features that are Windows-only, and explicitly note if equivalent Linux/macOS functionality is unavailable.
