Copy-on-write is not an NTFS feature.  Rather, it is a feature of the SIS (single instance store) feature that is built on top of NTFS's reparse points.  It consists of a groveller service and a sis.sys filter driver.  The service detects duplicate files and replaces them with SIS reparse points on NTFS which trigger action by the sis.sys filter driver.  For the feature to work on a given volume, the sis.sys filter needs to be active on the volume.
