Summary:
The documentation exhibits a clear Windows bias. Windows tools (RoboCopy, Azure File Sync, Storage Migration Service) are emphasized and described in detail, while Linux migration scenarios receive minimal attention and lack concrete examples or tool guidance. Windows terminology (NTFS, ACLs, DFS-N, etc.) is used throughout, and migration tables and tool recommendations are Windows-centric. Linux migration is only briefly mentioned, with no step-by-step guides or Linux-native tool recommendations.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-focused migration examples, including step-by-step guides using Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, cifs-utils, smbclient) for copying data to Azure file shares.
- Include Linux command-line examples alongside Windows/Powershell examples when demonstrating mounting, copying, or migrating data.
- Expand the migration guides table to include more detailed Linux scenarios, such as migrating from Linux SMB servers or NFS to Azure Files, and clarify tool support for Linux environments.
- Discuss Linux file permission and metadata mapping (e.g., POSIX ACLs vs. NTFS ACLs) and any limitations or considerations.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows tools and scenarios are introduced with equal prominence.
- Reference Linux-compatible third-party tools (e.g., rsync, rclone) where appropriate, and provide links to their documentation.
