If omitted, mkntfs cluster-size is determined by the volume size. The
value is determined as follows:

>Set the MFT zone multiplier, which determines the size of the
MFT zone to use on the volume. The MFT zone is the area at the
beginning of the volume reserved for the master file table (MFT),
which stores the on disk inodes (MFT records). Note that small files
are stored entirely within the node. Thus, if you expect to use the
volume for storing large numbers of very small files, it is useful
to set the zone multiplier to a higher value. Note that the MFT zone
is resized on the fly as required during operation of the NTFS driver,
but choosing a good value will reduce fragmentation. Valid
values are 12.5 (the default), 25, 37.5, and 50.
