Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows and PowerShell tools are referenced and exemplified more frequently and in greater detail than Linux equivalents, especially for client-side configuration. Windows-specific instructions (e.g., registry edits, PowerShell commands) are provided for enabling SMB Multichannel and configuring encryption, with no comparable Linux guidance. Windows terminology and features are referenced first or exclusively in scenarios, security, and limitations sections. Linux client configuration, troubleshooting, and advanced usage are notably absent or deferred to separate documentation.
Recommendations:
- Add Linux-specific examples for configuring SMB Multichannel and advanced SMB security settings, including relevant mount options and client configuration steps.
- Where PowerShell or Windows registry edits are shown, provide equivalent Linux commands (e.g., using smb.conf, mount.cifs options, or relevant Linux tools) or explicitly state if a feature is not configurable on Linux.
- Balance scenario descriptions to include Linux-based applications and workloads, not just Windows-based ones.
- When referencing client configuration (such as enabling specific encryption ciphers), include Linux (and macOS) instructions alongside Windows/PowerShell.
- In limitations and feature support sections, clarify which features or settings have different behaviors or requirements on Linux clients.
- Ensure that cross-platform parity is maintained in all code tabs and example sections, not just in the 'Next steps' links.
