Summary:
The documentation generally presents Windows/SMB concepts and terminology before or with more emphasis than Linux/NFS equivalents, especially in sections discussing dual-protocol and permissions. Windows tools and patterns (Active Directory, NTFS ACLs, SID translation, Kerberos/NTLM) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents (such as POSIX ACLs, idmapd, Samba configuration) are mentioned but not explained or exemplified. There are no Linux command-line or configuration examples, and Linux/Samba support is described as unofficial, which may discourage Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux/NFS examples and explanations wherever Windows/SMB tools or workflows are described (e.g., show how to view or set NFSv4 ACLs on Linux, or how to configure idmapd.conf).
- Include Linux/Samba configuration guidance or references for connecting to Azure NetApp Files, even if support is limited.
- Balance the order of presentation: when discussing dual-protocol or permissions, describe both Windows and Linux approaches side by side, rather than focusing on Windows/Active Directory first.
- Clarify the level of support for Linux/Samba clients and provide troubleshooting tips or links for common interoperability issues.
- Add Linux command-line examples (e.g., using getfacl/setfacl, mount options, rpcinfo, id mapping) to match the level of detail given for Windows tools.
