+Thanks again Joey. My progress is detailed below:
+
+Summary:
+
+Success with a VM on qemu.
+Failure with VMs on hyperv.
+
+Hardlinks are not created for the VMs on hyperv, in spite of the VM filesystems being ext4.
+This may only be associative, and not causal, but it is somewhat surprising. Yet, I am no hardlink expert.
+
+I can however make it work if I use a VM on qemu, so far; so that is very good.
+
+
+
+Setup:
+
+mkdir gitx1
+git init
+git annex init --version=6
+git config annex.thin true
+git annex fix
+
+copy bigfile to gitx1
+git annex add bigfile
+git commit -m add
+
+ls -li
+view results
+
+
+Test Procedure:
+
+unlock bigfile
+
+ls -li
+view results
+
+
+Pass criteria:
+
+ls -li shows 2 links and the inode matches the SHA file inode in annex/objects/
+gitx1 dir size is equal to one bigfile
+
+
+Fail criteria:
+
+ls -li shows 1 link and the inode numbers are different: working dir to annex/objects
+gitx1 dir size is equal to 2 bigfiles.
+
+
+Scenario 1:
+
+VM arch linux
+git-annex: 6.20160613-g1e4e6f4
+Host: Centos, qemu
+gnome-disk-utility: QEMU HARDDISK (1.5.3)
+partition: MBR
+filesystem: ext4
+
+Result: Pass
+
+
+Scenario 2:
+
+VM arch linux
+git-annex: 6.20160613-g1e4e6f4
+Host: Win10, hyperv
+gnome-disk-utility: Msft Virtual Disk (1.0)
+partition: MBR
+filesystem: ext4
+
+Result: Fail
+
+
+Scenario 3:
+
+VM Debian 8.5
+git-annex: 6.20160524+gitg2b7b2c4-1~ndall+1
+Host: Win10, hyperv
+gnome-disk-utility: /dev/...vg/root
+partition: lvm
+filesystem: ext4
+
+Result: Fail
