Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page for Azure NetApp Files demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-centric features, terminology, and tools (such as SMB, Active Directory, Windows Server, Windows File Explorer, and NTFS) are frequently mentioned, often before or in more detail than their Linux/NFS equivalents. Several features (e.g., Access-based Enumeration, Non-browsable shares, SMB Continuous Availability, integration with Windows Server 2025 domain controllers) are described primarily in the context of Windows environments, sometimes with little or no mention of Linux alternatives or usage patterns. Examples and troubleshooting guidance tend to reference Windows tools and workflows, with limited Linux-specific instructions or parity in example coverage.
Recommendations
- Ensure that Linux/NFS features and workflows are described with equal prominence and detail as Windows/SMB features.
- Provide Linux-specific examples and troubleshooting steps alongside Windows ones, especially for features that are protocol-agnostic or dual-protocol.
- When introducing features that are available for both SMB and NFS, present both usage patterns and configuration steps in parallel, rather than focusing on Windows first.
- Include references to Linux tools (e.g., nfs-utils, mount, ls, chown, showmount) and common Linux administration patterns where relevant.
- Highlight integration with Linux identity management solutions (such as FreeIPA, OpenLDAP) and provide guidance for Linux-based authentication and access control.
- Review feature descriptions to ensure that Linux terminology (e.g., POSIX, UID/GID, NFSv4.1, Kerberos) is used and explained where appropriate.
- Add troubleshooting and operational guidance for Linux environments, including common error scenarios and resolution steps.
