Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. It references Windows Server features (such as NTFS, Event Viewer, and Windows Server data deduplication), uses Windows-specific terminology (e.g., reparse points, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_RECALL_ON_DATA_ACCESS), and provides operational details and troubleshooting steps only for Windows. There are no examples, instructions, or considerations for Linux or cross-platform scenarios, and the only command-line tool mentioned is a PowerShell cmdlet.
Recommendations:
- Clarify early in the documentation that Azure File Sync cloud tiering is currently only supported on Windows Server, if that is the case. If Linux support is planned or available, add corresponding sections.
- If Linux support is available, provide equivalent examples, operational details, and troubleshooting steps for Linux (e.g., file attributes, file system support, event logging locations, and command-line tools).
- Where Windows-specific features are discussed (NTFS, Event Viewer, PowerShell), note their platform specificity and, if possible, offer Linux alternatives or explicitly state that these features are not available on Linux.
- Avoid using only PowerShell cmdlets in examples; if CLI or REST API alternatives exist, include them and show cross-platform usage.
- In tables and screenshots, clarify if the UI or attributes shown are Windows-specific, and provide Linux equivalents if applicable.
