Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. It frequently references Windows-specific tools, protocols, and workflows (such as FSCTLs, Hyper-V, MS SQL Server, NTFS semantics, and Windows client behaviors) without providing equivalent Linux/macOS examples or guidance. Windows terminology and features are described first or exclusively, and there is a lack of explicit instructions or examples for Linux/macOS SMB clients. Features relevant to UNIX/Linux clients (such as UNIX extensions) are mentioned only briefly, often as disabled or unsupported, and without further detail.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and guidance for configuring and accessing Azure NetApp Files SMB shares from Linux and macOS clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Finder).
- Include Linux/macOS equivalents for Windows-specific features and workflows, or clarify cross-platform differences (e.g., how file permissions, symlinks, and offline files behave on non-Windows clients).
- Provide troubleshooting steps and best practices for Linux/macOS SMB clients, including Kerberos and encryption settings.
- Balance references to Windows tools (FSCTLs, Hyper-V, NTFS) with mentions of Linux/macOS tools and use cases (e.g., Samba, NFS, POSIX compliance).
- Clarify which features are relevant or available to non-Windows clients, and provide links to additional resources for Linux/macOS integration.
