Ah, now I get it. This is a Unix-like display. QDFTOWN is the _owner_, not the directory. The directory is the "." at the right and means the directory you are in. The ".." in the next row stands for the parent directory ("root" in this case), which is owned by QSYS.

The leftmost string includes a "d" for directory, followed by various authorizations ("r"=read, "w"=write, "x"=execute).

If you go to a command line, WRKLNK '/QOPT', and take option 8 on QOPT, then page down, the same number is listed for its size. I don't know why this is reported. It is, in fact the largest positive value for a signed integer (INT4) and probably reflects some file system nonsense.

Basically, no problem, just strange behavior.

No CD's or optical carts in any drives.

If I use WRKLNK, I can't see anything in QOPT if the CD drive is empty.

If I use qshell and do a ls -al on the QOPT directory, I see the following:
ls -al
total: 2.097 gigabytes
drwxrwxrwx   2 QDFTOWN  0            2147483647              .
drwxrwsrwx  27 QSYS     0                294912 Mar 13 10:04 ..
If this isn't really anything, then I'm not worried.  I can't claim to know
much about the workings of the iSeries, but the people around here who do
have no idea what this is, and that worries me.
