Best bet may be cifsd(8), that should expose a network drive to your windows machine. As a warning, I don't think this code gets taken out for walks
often. We may need to add SMBv3 support for 'modern' windows.

They use the linux flavor of 9p, we only speak 9p2000. Not saying that you couldn't get this to work, I am just not aware of anyone who has. If you
do I'd be curious to see what kind of arm wrestling you have to do on the windows side.
Thanks,
