Summary:
The documentation generally presents Windows/SMB concepts and terminology before or with more detail than Linux/NFS equivalents, especially in the SMB section. Windows tools and patterns (Active Directory, NTFS ACLs, Kerberos/NTLM, SID translation) are referenced as defaults, while Linux/Samba support is described as unofficial. There are no Linux command-line examples for SMB access or identity mapping, and Linux tools for SMB (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs) are not mentioned. The NFS section is more Linux-focused, but the SMB section lacks Linux parity.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux command-line examples for accessing SMB shares (e.g., using smbclient or mount.cifs) alongside Windows examples.
- Mention and briefly describe Samba and its configuration for Linux clients, including any caveats or best practices for interoperability with Azure NetApp Files.
- Clarify the support status for Linux SMB clients, and provide guidance or links for troubleshooting common interoperability issues.
- When discussing identity management and permissions, include Linux/Samba equivalents (e.g., mapping POSIX users/groups to SMB SIDs, using winbind or sssd).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows tools/concepts are introduced together, or alternate which is presented first in each section.
- Add references to Linux documentation for SMB and NFS, not just Windows/NTFS/Active Directory.
