Nice to see that other people also like the inverted -l behavior from star.

This is the OpenSolaris discuss mailing list. The problem has been fixed
to the end of last year and integrated into OpenSolaris on August 15th.
The problem you describe was present on all known UNIX like platforms
before OpenSolaris added a fix. ISO-9660 does not include inode numbers
and old Rock Ridge versions did not either.
The new code supports Rock Ridge v-1.12 - Solaris is the first OS to support
this.
If you did not use a recent mkisofs to create the filesystem, hardlinks
will only work for files with size > 0. Files with size 0 will all have
inode number 16. Special care is taken that this does not cause caching
or NFS problems. The fix was also needed in order to support ISO-9660
filesystgem sizes > 128 GB.
If you use a recent mkisofs, even files with size 0 will have a unique inode
number.
