Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Windows Server and its tools (DFS Management console, PowerShell, Server Manager, Windows DNS). All configuration steps, examples, and screenshots are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. There are no Linux command-line examples, nor any discussion of how non-Windows clients or administrators might interact with DFS-N or Azure NetApp Files in this context.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state that DFS Namespaces is a Windows-only technology, if that is the case, and clarify any cross-platform limitations.
- If Linux or non-Windows clients can access DFS-N namespaces (e.g., via SMB/CIFS), provide guidance or examples for mounting and interacting with DFS-N shares from Linux systems.
- If Linux-based management or configuration is possible (e.g., via Samba or other open-source DFS implementations), include equivalent Linux command-line instructions or references.
- Mention any relevant Linux tools or best practices for integrating with Azure NetApp Files SMB shares, even if DFS-N management itself is Windows-only.
- Provide a summary table or section outlining platform support and any required steps for Linux environments, or explicitly state that Linux is not supported for DFS-N management if that is the case.
