Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by consistently mentioning SMB (a Windows protocol) before NFS (a Linux/UNIX protocol) in several sections, and by providing more detailed explanations for Windows/SMB features such as ACLs and permission inheritance. Integration with Active Directory (a Windows-centric directory service) is highlighted as the only supported LDAP service, with no mention of alternatives or Linux-based directory services. There are no command-line examples or configuration snippets for either platform, but the text assumes familiarity with Windows tools and patterns, while Linux/UNIX equivalents are less emphasized or described in less detail.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of SMB and NFS discussions to avoid always placing Windows protocols first.
- Provide equal depth and detail for NFS (Linux/UNIX) features, including advanced NFSv4.x ACLs and Linux-based permission management.
- Include practical configuration examples for both Windows (PowerShell, GUI) and Linux (command-line, shell scripts) environments.
- Mention or acknowledge Linux-based directory services (such as OpenLDAP) even if not currently supported, and clarify roadmap or alternatives.
- Ensure that terminology and explanations are balanced, avoiding the assumption that Active Directory or Windows ACLs are the default or only approach.
