FreeNAS changing paths in Windows 10. Ex: "Z:/mnt/raid/2FL58K~7/SEIV33~8/DOTHFS~7/NHGB04~X.TAR/NHGB04~X/MK3609~8

When loading a file, or copying a file path from our FreeNAS server on Windows 10, Windows is displaying apparently random names, instead of actual folder and file names.

For example. This is the proper path as viewed in Windows explorer and and SSH:

Z:/mnt/raid/CHARTS/2-WORKING/FOO/BAR/FOO/example/filename.jpg

If I right click filename.jpg in windows explorer and copy the path, what I get is something like this:

"Z:/mnt/raid/2FL58K~7/SEIV33~8/DOTHFS~7/NHGB04~X/NHGB04~X/MK3609~8/ISXZE0~A.jpg"

And if I load "filename.jpg" into editing software, the name displayed in the software is "ISXZE0~A.jpg"

What could be causing this behavior?

Forgot to mention, we're accessing the files from windows 10 with a samba share. FreeNAS-11.2-U7

I seem to recall setting "mangled names = no" to smb.conf will fix this.
Use the "mangled" keyword to search for more info.
