8.3 style file names appearing

Every so often when (re)naming directories and (re)naming files on the DNS323 I get (very) old style 8 character filenames. 

This is an example
C46DPW~F. 

When this starts happening, it is tolerated for a while, then there is a shout to the rest of the house that I am going for the ''Geronimo Switch'' - restart my computer, all the DNS boxes and the internet 
When everything is restarted the problem generally goes away. 

Today I renamed the file
Back.jpg 
and it came up as
C46DPW~F. 
OK i forgot the extension / termination

By chance I renamed it again, to be able to display it in the directory as a jpg file. 
I was expecting to see
C46DPW~F.jpg 
But lo, and behold it popped up
Chantays - Two Sides Of The Chantays - Back.jpg .jpg

Can anyone tell me what is going on?   
This clue may save me a lot of wasted rebooting time.

(Running XP served by DNS323 with ext3 formatted discs).

Re: 8.3 style file names appearing

I have a similar setup (XP, HDDs formated to Ext3) and never had such problems.
What firmware version are you, currently using?


DNS-323 HW Rev. C1 FW 1.10 fun-plug 0.5
2 x WD10EARS-00Y5B1 in Standard mode (LCC set to 5 min; Aligned to 4K)
Transmission with Transmission Remote GUI

Re: 8.3 style file names appearing

I have FW 1.08. 
1.10Beta7 hangs my machine. 
Like many, I format with 1.10b7 and quickly revert to stable 1.08
(I too with 1.08 until recently, ''never had such problems'').

Re: 8.3 style file names appearing

And you need to restart everything(!?) every time this happens?
