Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by mentioning the use of the Windows-specific tool 'Robocopy' for applying ACLs to exported Azure Files data, without providing a Linux equivalent or alternative. Additionally, there are no Linux-specific tools, commands, or examples provided for exporting data or handling ACLs, and the only script referenced is a PowerShell (.ps1) script, which is native to Windows. There are no explicit Linux examples or references to Linux-native tools for data copy or ACL management.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-equivalent tools and examples for applying ACLs to exported Azure Files data, such as using 'rsync', 'setfacl', or 'getfacl'.
  • Mention and provide sample commands for Linux file copy and ACL preservation, alongside or in place of the Robocopy recommendation.
  • Offer cross-platform scripts (e.g., Bash or Python) for generating XML files, or clarify if the PowerShell script can be run on Linux (e.g., with PowerShell Core), and provide instructions for doing so.
  • Include a section or note explicitly addressing Linux and macOS users, outlining supported workflows and any OS-specific considerations.
  • Ensure parity in documentation by listing both Windows and Linux approaches wherever OS-specific tools or commands are referenced.
