      GPFS 3.5 introduces an optimization that allows to store file content
      directly in the i-node for small files. This confuses the StoRM logic
      that relies on the number of blocks occupied by a file being always greater
      than the reported file size to detect "stub" files, i.e. phantom files on disk
      that have been migrated to tape.
