Alan,
Please apply attached patch for the next 2.2.20-pre release. It contains
a tiny ntfs fix to detect when the cluster size is too big and refuse to
mount the volume. (Without this patch the kernel panics which is not a
Good Thing and someone got anoyed enough with it to ask me to please fix
it...)
Patch is untested but considering it's a straight copy from 2.4 and it
passes a quick sanity check it should be fine.
Best regards,
Anton
