The chunker option, '-s', defines the chunking strategy for how
ipfs puts larger files into blocks. Blocks with same content can
be deduplicated. The default is a fixed block size of
256 * 1024 bytes, 'size-262144'. A variable block size can be
specified by using the rabin chunker, rabin-[min]-[avg]-[max].
Using different chunking strategies will produce different hashes
for the same file.
256 * 1024 bytes, 'size-262144'. Alternatively, you can use the
rabin chunker for content defined chunking by specifying
rabin-[min]-[avg]-[max] (where min/avg/max refer to the resulting
chunk sizes). Using other chunking strategies will produce
different hashes for the same file.
