Summary
The documentation lists Azure PowerShell and the Azure Portal (which is Windows-centric) as primary tools for disk expansion, with Azure CLI mentioned but not emphasized. Windows rescan instructions and links are provided before Linux equivalents, and Windows-specific tools (like devcon) are referenced. Linux instructions are present but less detailed and appear after Windows instructions.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux examples and instructions with equal detail and prominence as Windows.
- List cross-platform tools (Azure CLI) first, and clarify their parity for both OSes.
- Include explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., using 'lsblk', 'partprobe', or 'udevadm') for rescanning disks.
- Avoid referencing Windows-only tools (like devcon) without Linux equivalents.
- Ensure that troubleshooting steps and links are equally comprehensive for Linux users.
