I'm not talking desktop OS, I'm talking Server. Microsoft does not have a proper LVM even on their Server OS's. What LVM are you talking about?? Because if it's Windows Disk Manager.... LOL... just LOL. That's like a speak-n-spell My First LVM. It's so bad, Veritas offers their VxFS and Veritas LVM for Windows servers and charges $thousands for it. Windows Disk Manager does not do ANY of the core functions of a real LVM. Can you grow your C:/ live on the fly no downtime? No. Can you migrate an LV from one PV to another? No. Can you do all kinds of creative striping, mirroring, and spanning? Nope, you can only do a 2-member mirror OR a 2-member stripe (but not both) and creating either of them is a one-way function. So please, what is this Windows LVM you speak of, because this bad joke called Windows Disk Manager can't possibly be it.

Overall the implementation is a lot like LVM (e.g. space metadata stored on the disk), so if a server fails with a mirrored/parity space you can just plug the disks into another machine and bring it up.
Coming in Server 2016 are:
Storage Spaces Direct: Storage spaces but between servers, basically LVM with remote PVs (this assumes you're running fast interconnects between servers).
Combine these using CSV and you've got something a bit like GPFS. That said, the first release is targeted at VM storage rather than standard files.
Storage Replica: Mirroring of volumes between servers (Basically DRBD).

You have no way of comparing NTFS performance on a Linux system, the best you can do is compare NTFS on Windows to another filesystem on Windows.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that these tests give an accurate representation of day to day NTFS performance for Windows, obviously some bottleneck or work in progress there. I mean NTFS isn't great but its not HFS!

That wouldn't even remotely be a fair comparison. Comparing ntfs3g on linux with NTFS on Windows? You would glean nothing from that. Comparing ntfs-3g with a different filesystem on linux? Again, you would glean nothing other than the performance of ntfs-3g, which is not the same as the NTFS on Windows - completely different codebase.

Determining the capability and performance of different implementations at the settings you use is kinda the whole point.

Isn't comparing the different codebases the whole point? In your opinion then comparing anything with different code doesn't make sense? Amdgpu vs Catalyst? MS Office vs LibreOffice?
