Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, with nearly all examples, commands, and performance monitoring instructions referencing Windows tools (PowerShell cmdlets, Performance Monitor, Hyper-V adapters). There are no Linux or macOS SMB client examples, nor any mention of how to achieve similar monitoring or configuration on non-Windows platforms. The use of Windows terminology and tools is pervasive throughout, creating friction for Linux/macOS users who may also use SMB with Azure NetApp Files.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux/macOS SMB client configuration and performance tuning instructions, e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or relevant sysctl parameters.
- Provide Linux/macOS examples for monitoring SMB performance, such as using iostat, atop, or other network/file system monitoring tools.
- Include notes on how SMB Multichannel, Signing, and Encryption are supported or configured on Linux/macOS clients (e.g., Samba settings, kernel support).
- Clarify which recommendations are Windows-only and which are cross-platform, to help users understand applicability.
- Where PowerShell or Windows-specific commands are shown, offer Linux/macOS alternatives or explicitly state if no equivalent exists.
