Mount an NTFS drive which has a different block size
Hi,
I have reformatted my hard drive with allocation size 64K(formatted on windows with 64k setting) for a better performance on my WDTV HD media player(dealing with large files). When I mount this drive on Linux, the mount tells me that
"blksize=4096".
If I keep writing files using this default setting(blksize=4096) to my NTFS formatted hard drive, will my WDTV be able to benefit from the performance improvement of 64k allocation size ?
Does it have anything to do with "blksize=4096". ?
Should I try and mount my hard drive with a larger blksize ?
I did some research on google but couldn't find an option to increase the blksize when mounting an NTFS pre-formatted drive.
Regards
