> 1) Which file system are you using?
From Linux's view it's ext4. Real vmdx file on Hyper-V is stored on NTFS, as far as I know.
> 2) What is the segment layout of the LVM PVs and LVs?
I am a bit lost with it. Is that what you are asking about?

I don't think so, but how to check? vgs gives #SN = 0, is that it?
> 4) You can try using seekwatcher to see where on the disk the slowness is occurring. You get a chart similar to this
