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. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
