Thats what I thought …
I did the same thing with the shares 🙂 Found it was the easiest workaround.
Won’t need to do it anymore since Im NTFS now 
FYI
I finally solved my issue with SCP. SSH worked fine but SCP and RSYNC where failing. Found out it was because I forced the bash shell in /etc/password. Found the info at the openssh page and they provided a test to try out. The test worked properly, so I decided to try it out anyway. Looks like SCP gets messed up if the user is in another shell than sh.
Thanks for hint on the natively formatted drive, you should indicate (if not done) that the drive will still appear as not formatted on the slug wiki, just in case you confuse somebody.
