Doesn't matter what OS you use, as you state:

The file name is the same for all of them.

Calibre is written to avoid reaching the character limit. My suggestion is to ignore how calibre writes the files inside its library/database structure.

If you let us know what you want to accomplish I'm sure we can help you out with a solution that keeps you away from the file name that calibre creates for its own tracking.
