Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. SMB is described as primarily for Windows, with official support only for Windows and macOS, while Linux SMB clients (Samba) are mentioned as unofficially supported. Windows terminology (NTFS, SID, Active Directory) is used throughout and often explained before or instead of Linux equivalents. There are references to Windows-specific features (NTLM, NTFS ACLs, extended attributes) without parallel Linux details. Linux/NFS examples are present, but Windows tools and patterns (Active Directory, NTFS ACLs) are prioritized, and Linux SMB usage is downplayed.
Recommendations
- Provide official guidance and examples for Linux SMB (Samba) clients, including configuration and troubleshooting steps.
- Include Linux equivalents for Windows-specific concepts (e.g., explain POSIX ACLs alongside NTFS ACLs, and provide Linux command-line examples for permissions and identity mapping).
- Clarify support levels for Linux SMB clients and document any known limitations or workarounds.
- Balance terminology by introducing Linux/UNIX concepts (such as idmap, nsswitch, etc.) where Windows terms are used.
- Present examples and explanations for both Windows and Linux/macOS platforms in parallel, rather than prioritizing Windows.
