Are you trying to store the Linux side prefs on a share hosted on the
Windows box? Or are you trying to share your Linux prefs folder with the
Windows host? The latter certainly should work without any further fiddling.
As you're running a VM: many virtualization systems off you to mount a
folder from the host in a VM. Technically I believe it's just a share
from the client's POV, too. But anyway: did you try that?
One other solution I've been using in the past is some kind of cloud
syncing: share a folder in- and outside over a service like Dropbox or
your NAS' version of it, or Seafile, whatever. There can be a little
latency, but it did work quite well. I actually often edit on Mac and
run on whatever VM I'm working with (Windows or Linux).
There also are tools to map drive's over SSH. That probably has similar
latency as syncing, but wouldn't require a lot of tools on the VM side.
