Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows terminology (NT ACLs, SeBackupPrivilege, Administrator/SYSTEM accounts) is used throughout, with Windows-specific behaviors and privileges described in detail. Linux is mentioned only to note limitations (e.g., only Windows NT ACLs are transferred, default ACLs not transferred), and there are no Linux-specific examples or guidance. Windows tools and patterns are referenced, while Linux equivalents are absent.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux copy tool examples (e.g., smbclient, rsync with SMB mounts) and instructions for preserving metadata/ACLs.
- Clarify what 'Windows NT ACLs' means for Linux users and how Linux ACLs map (or do not map) to Azure Files.
- Provide parity in troubleshooting and privilege requirements for Linux (e.g., what Linux user/group permissions are needed).
- Include a table comparing Windows and Linux behaviors for ACL/metadata transfer.
- List any Linux-specific limitations or workarounds for preserving metadata.
