~1 makes me think it's a FAT filesystem. going by the [man
page](http://man.openbsd.org/mount_msdos), OpenBSD doesn't have
elaborate support for fancy FAT filenames.

> The MS-DOS file system (even with long filenames) does not support
filenames with trailing dots or spaces. Any such characters will be
silently removed before the directory entry is written. This too is a
FAT file system limitation.

It's almost 2019, and we still don't have a good cross OS filesystem
:P

What happens when you rsync or scp those files to the native
filesystem of each OS?

As a solid workaround. OpenBSD works with ext2 just fine, I've used it
for several years to share files with Linux.

This applies to FAT12/16 only though, not VFAT and FAT32

Use Detox to sanitize the file names into good ol' ascii. Otherwise
you're going to run into this issue everywhere you decide to use these
files. Your id3 and/or file tree can handle the title names.

Yes, but they will no longer be in JA. They'll be in english
gibberish. You will need to use id3 tags or a file tree to know what
is what.

I had similar issues when I ran a ntfs external drive with my
collection on a Linux mipsel computer for intranetwork streaming.

I suggest backing up the music first before running it through detox
though.
