Research direction

Start with lib/filewatch/bootstrap.rb at the linked commit and compare its default with the value documented for file_chunk_count in version 7.13. Update the documentation to reflect the calculated default and its 64-bit JVM assumption, then verify that the documented value matches the source.

Description

bug

In 7.13 the documentation for the file_chunk_count states "Default value is 4611686018427387903". This is not true. The default is 4611686018427387903/32768. That is, 140737488355327. Also this assumes a 64-bit JVM.
