Summary:
The documentation generally provides a balanced overview of both NFS (Linux/UNIX) and SMB (Windows) protocols, but there are subtle Windows biases. Windows tools and terminology (Active Directory, NTFS ACLs, SID translation, Entra ID) are referenced more frequently and with more official support. SMB/Windows scenarios are described as the default or primary use case, while Linux/UNIX (especially Samba/SMB on Linux) is described as unsupported or secondary. There are no Linux-specific command examples for SMB (e.g., using smbclient or mount.cifs), and the only command-line example given is for NFS (rpcinfo). Linux/UNIX tools and patterns are mentioned, but not as prominently or with as much detail as their Windows counterparts.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific SMB usage examples (e.g., mounting SMB shares with mount.cifs, using smbclient) alongside Windows/Active Directory scenarios.
- Clarify support status for SMB/Samba on Linux and provide guidance or references for best-effort interoperability.
- Balance the order of protocol/tool presentation: when discussing dual-protocol or identity management, mention Linux/UNIX (e.g., LDAP, nsswitch) equally or before Windows/Active Directory.
- Include more Linux/UNIX-focused troubleshooting and configuration tips, especially for dual-protocol environments.
- Reference both Windows and Linux tools/utilities for managing permissions and shares (e.g., getfacl/setfacl for NFSv4 ACLs, as well as Windows ACL tools).
