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.
