Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-focused, with all command-line examples using PowerShell or Windows tools (e.g., Get-SmbClientNetworkInterface, set-SmbClientConfiguration), and monitoring instructions referencing Windows Performance Monitor. There are no Linux or macOS SMB client examples, nor any mention of how to achieve similar monitoring or configuration on non-Windows systems. The text assumes the reader is using Windows clients, even though SMB is supported on Linux/macOS and Azure NetApp Files can be accessed from those platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux/macOS SMB client configuration and monitoring instructions (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or /proc/fs/cifs stats).
  • Include Linux/macOS command-line examples for checking SMB Multichannel, signing, and encryption status.
  • Mention relevant Linux kernel versions and Samba client features that support SMB Multichannel, signing, and encryption.
  • Provide guidance or references for performance monitoring on Linux/macOS (e.g., using iostat, nstat, or perf tools).
  • Clarify where features or recommendations are Windows-only, and provide alternatives or note limitations for non-Windows clients.
