# Chunks Disk Format
The following describes the format of a chunks file,
which is created in the `chunks/` directory of a block.
The maximum size per segment file is 512MiB.
Chunks in the files are referenced from the index by uint64 composed of
in-file offset (lower 4 bytes) and segment sequence number (upper 4 bytes).
