Ignoring the data storage problem for the time being,
the ``right'' solution for getting to the Windows boxes
is to eliminate Linux and write something to serve SMB
by translating for a 9P server.  A simple single-threaded
``get an SMB request, do some 9P requests, answer the
SMB request; repeat'' server would be a great start.
I've got some ideas about turning something like
that into a multithreaded (many pending requests)
service fairly transparently.  This may be more work
than you were bargaining for.

U9fs goes the wrong way: it is for Plan 9 boxes to
mount the namespace on a Unix box, not the other
way 'round.
