Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All configuration and verification steps for SMB Multichannel are described exclusively for Windows clients, using PowerShell commands and Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, diskspd.exe). References to SMB Multichannel support are limited to Windows, with no mention of Linux client support, configuration, or verification. Even in sections that mention both Windows and Linux (e.g., metadata caching), only Windows-centric registration and usage examples are provided. There are no Linux command-line examples, nor are Linux tools or workflows discussed.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit information about SMB Multichannel support on Linux clients, including supported distributions and kernel versions.
- Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples for verifying SMB Multichannel (e.g., using smbstatus, smbclient, or reviewing /proc/fs/cifs/Stats).
- Include Linux alternatives to Windows tools such as robocopy and diskspd.exe (e.g., rsync, fio, or dd) for generating load and performance testing.
- Document how to mount Azure SMB shares on Linux, including relevant mount options for performance.
- Ensure that all configuration, verification, and troubleshooting steps are presented for both Windows and Linux clients, or clearly state if a feature is not supported on Linux.
- Reference Linux documentation for SMB Multichannel and Azure Files where appropriate.
