How can i change the max block size in a way that makes it possible mount 
ntfs partitions with a block size of 64k ?

Mandrake 9.1 RC1 can mount it (2.4.21pre4-10mdk). It uses the new NTFS
driver (http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/downloads.html). I don't know if it
has any other additional patch to be able to do this. SuSE 8.0 using
the old NTFS driver couldn't (2.4.18-64GB-SMP).

You can't change the block size. However if you use the new ntfs driver
present in 2.5.x kernels and available as a patch to 2.4.20 kernel (also
part of the Mandrake Linux distro, possibly others, too) you will be able
to just mount the partition in question without any problems. The new
driver supports all blocksizes that Windows supports.

Best regards,
