Without snapshots, file replication is the same as block replication.

With snapshot, the file replication R_o of the original file and the file 
replication R_s of the snapshot file could possibly be different.  Since the 
blocks are shared between the original file and the snapshot file, block 
replication is max(R_o, R_s).  If there are more than one snapshots, block 
replication is the max file replication of the original file and all snapshot 
files.
