Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in its treatment of Azure Files, especially in the legacy model sections. It uses Windows-specific UNC path syntax (\\<storage name>.file.core.windows.net\<file service name>) and user ID formats (AZURE\<storage name>), and refers to SMB (Server Message Block) without clarifying cross-platform usage. There are no Linux or macOS-specific examples or guidance for mounting or accessing Azure Files, nor is there mention of Linux tools or commands for interacting with Azure Files. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for certain configuration patterns and omits Linux parity in both examples and conceptual explanations.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Linux and macOS examples for mounting and accessing Azure Files, using native tools (e.g., mount.cifs, smbclient) and syntax relevant to those platforms.
- When describing the legacy model, clarify how Linux users should specify paths and credentials, including the correct syntax and any differences from Windows.
- Include a section or note on cross-platform compatibility, highlighting any differences or additional steps required for Linux/macOS environments.
- Provide sample commands or configuration snippets for Linux (e.g., how to mount Azure Files using CIFS in Linux, with example /etc/fstab entries or mount commands).
- Avoid presenting Windows-specific patterns (such as UNC paths and AZURE\<storage name> user IDs) as the only or primary method; instead, present both Windows and Linux approaches side by side.
