Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, with all configuration and monitoring examples using Windows commands (PowerShell, perfmon), Windows networking tools, and references to Windows Server/Windows 10. There are no Linux/macOS SMB client examples, nor any mention of how to achieve similar monitoring or configuration on non-Windows platforms, despite SMB being a cross-platform protocol. Linux tools, commands, and client behaviors are absent, and Windows terminology is used exclusively throughout.
Recommendations
- Add SMB client configuration and performance tuning examples for Linux (e.g., using mount.cifs, smbclient, or kernel parameters).
- Include Linux/macOS equivalents for monitoring SMB connections, such as using 'smbstatus', 'netstat', or system metrics.
- Document how to check for SMB Multichannel and encryption support on Linux clients.
- Clarify which recommendations are Windows-specific and provide parity guidance for other platforms.
- Reference Linux SMB client documentation and best practices where appropriate.
