Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: it repeatedly references Windows-specific concepts (such as VSS and Windows File Server), describes Azure File Sync as synchronizing with on-premises Windows file shares, and provides analogies and explanations using Windows terminology. There are no Linux-specific examples or equivalent references to Linux/NFS workflows, and the only mention of NFS is in a feature matrix, with no further guidance or parity in explanations. The documentation also refers to Windows labeling practices before Linux/macOS, and the only migration scenarios described are for SMB (typically Windows-centric).
Recommendations:
- Add Linux/NFS-specific examples and explanations, especially where SMB/Windows workflows are described.
- When referencing snapshots, provide analogies or references relevant to Linux (e.g., LVM snapshots, rsync, or ZFS/Btrfs snapshots) in addition to VSS.
- In sections discussing Azure File Sync, clarify the lack of Linux support and suggest alternative synchronization or backup strategies for Linux/NFS environments.
- In the storage units section, present Linux and macOS labeling/measurement practices with equal prominence to Windows, rather than focusing on Windows first.
- Include migration and management scenarios for NFS shares, not just SMB/Windows shares.
- Where PowerShell or Windows tools are referenced (even indirectly), provide equivalent CLI or Linux-native tooling instructions or links.
