Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-focused: all examples, commands, and monitoring instructions use Windows tools (PowerShell cmdlets, netstat, perfmon). There are no Linux/macOS client examples or equivalent instructions, despite SMB being a cross-platform protocol. Linux tools and configuration steps are not mentioned, and all performance testing and monitoring guidance assumes a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux/macOS client examples for mounting SMB shares, verifying SMB Multichannel, and measuring performance (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or relevant Linux tools).
  • Include Linux-specific commands for checking RSS/network interface capabilities (e.g., ethtool, lshw, or ip commands).
  • Provide guidance for monitoring SMB performance on Linux (e.g., using iostat, nload, or atop).
  • Clarify which recommendations are Windows-specific and add Linux/macOS sections where appropriate.
  • If Azure NetApp Files SMB support is intended for Windows clients only, explicitly state this in the documentation.
