Any multiply of 1024 will do try something like 8192.

Here's a mini-howto that deals with copying Linux files sys between
disk, but it might work with any mounted file systems?

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/index.html

i.e. format drive B for NTFS, mount /dev/old_ntfd /mnt/A
mount /dev/new_ntfs under /mnt/B

Follow howto and see what happens.

You might also check on http:/freshmeat.net
