How to view the cluster size of an NTFS file system?
by exerceo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6JRGF)
For other file systems, the "fsck" tool can be used with the -n (read-only) and -v (verbose) switches, to show the cluster size. For example:
Code:fsck.exfat -n -v /dev/mmcblk0p1However, given that NTFS is a proprietary Microsoft file system, support by operating systems outside Windows relies on reverse-engineering and has therefore been limited for a long time. File system checking is even more difficult to implement than normal reading and writing, so appears to be no "fsck.ntfs" so far.
Is there any tool which just shows the cluster size of NTFS?
(Yes, I know, "NTFS file system" is a redundant acronym, but I have to write it like this for clarity.)
