Summary:
The documentation is generally neutral and covers both Windows and Linux environments, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. Windows tools and concepts (e.g., NTFS, volume shadow copies, Storage Spaces, Windows Server disk striping) are mentioned explicitly and sometimes before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. There are direct links to Windows Server documentation for disk striping, but no equivalent step-by-step Linux example or link. Linux is referenced (e.g., LVM, xfs, fio), but practical guidance and links for Linux users are less detailed or absent.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Linux disk striping examples and links (e.g., to LVM or mdadm documentation) in the 'Next steps' section, similar to the Windows Server link.
- When discussing file system freeze/snapshot operations, provide equal detail for Linux (e.g., xfs_freeze, LVM snapshots) as for Windows (NTFS, VSS).
- Ensure that Linux tools and patterns are mentioned alongside Windows ones, and not only as secondary notes.
- Where Windows-specific tools (e.g., Storage Spaces) are mentioned, include Linux equivalents (e.g., LVM, mdadm) with equal prominence.
- Consider providing example commands or references for both Windows and Linux when discussing monitoring, striping, or snapshotting.
- Review the order of presentation to avoid always listing Windows tools or concepts before Linux ones.
