Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing on Windows-centric deployment and operational patterns. It assumes the use of Active Directory, Windows file servers, and Windows-based tools (e.g., portqryui), and provides detailed steps and screenshots for Windows environments. There is a lack of equivalent Linux/NFS-focused examples, commands, or guidance, and Linux-native tools or patterns are not mentioned or are only referenced in passing.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux/NFS deployment instructions, including how to deploy and configure StorageX on Linux-based systems if supported.
- Include examples and screenshots for NFS migrations, not just SMB/Windows/Active Directory scenarios.
- Mention and provide usage examples for Linux-native tools (e.g., netcat, ss, iperf, or nmap) for port and bandwidth testing, alongside or instead of Windows tools like portqryui.
- Clarify whether StorageX requires Windows for deployment, or if Linux-based deployments are possible, and document any differences.
- Ensure that instructions for creating service accounts and setting permissions include Linux/NFS equivalents (e.g., export rules, root squash, POSIX permissions), not just Active Directory/Windows group memberships.
- Balance the order of presentation so that NFS/Linux scenarios are given equal prominence to SMB/Windows ones, rather than always following or being secondary.
- Add troubleshooting and support guidance for Linux/NFS environments, not just Windows/Active Directory.
