Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows environments. It references Windows Server features (such as NTFS, reparse points, and data deduplication), describes file attributes and behaviors specific to NTFS, and mentions PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Invoke-StorageSyncFileRecall) without providing any Linux equivalents or clarifying cross-platform support. There are no examples, instructions, or notes for Linux or non-Windows environments, and all technical details assume a Windows file server context.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether Azure File Sync cloud tiering is supported or unsupported on Linux servers, and if not, clarify this early in the documentation.
- If Linux support exists or is planned, provide equivalent examples and instructions for Linux environments, including file system behaviors, relevant commands, and troubleshooting steps.
- Where Windows-specific features (e.g., NTFS attributes, Event Viewer logs, PowerShell cmdlets) are mentioned, offer Linux analogs or note their absence.
- Add a section comparing Windows and Linux support for Azure File Sync, outlining any differences in feature availability, setup, and management.
- Ensure parity in screenshots and examples, showing both Windows and Linux file property dialogs or command outputs where applicable.
