Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing SMB (the Windows protocol) as the default and providing more detailed instructions for SMB shares, including references to File Explorer and local user management, which are Windows-centric. There is no mention of Linux tools or workflows for managing NFS shares beyond specifying allowed client IPs. The documentation omits Linux-specific guidance or examples for accessing or managing shares, and does not mention Linux file managers or command-line tools. All examples and screenshots are based on the Azure portal UI, but the only workflow details provided for permissions and access are for Windows/SMB scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/NFS examples, such as how to mount NFS shares from a Linux client and manage permissions using Linux tools.
- Include references to Linux file managers (e.g., Nautilus, Dolphin) or command-line utilities (e.g., mount, chmod, chown) for managing NFS shares.
- Balance the detail level between SMB and NFS sections, ensuring that Linux/NFS users have clear, actionable instructions.
- Avoid assuming SMB is the default or primary use case; present SMB and NFS options with equal prominence.
- Add troubleshooting tips and best practices for both Windows and Linux environments.
