>Description:
It appears that when accessing a mounted NTFS filesystem (via mount_ntfs)
with a non-default (default is 4096) cluster size, FreeBSD has problems
listing directories on said filesystem.  /bin/ls errors with "Argument
list too long" while listing directories containing any amount of files
(from what I can tell).  I experienced this problem on a filesystem with
16k clusters.  Booted into WinXP and used PartitionMagic to resize to 4096
(from the 8192 I was using previously on that particular filesystem), and
was able to once again list files in FreeBSD without any problem.  I was
unable to find any related bugs in the database.
>How-To-Repeat:
Resize an NTFS partition to 8192, 16384, etc.; boot into FreeBSD 6.x;
issue "ls" in any dir which contains any number of "normal" files and/or
subdirs.  You should see "<filename/directory>: Argument list too long"
repeated several times.
>Fix:
Resize NTFS clusters to 4096.
