Why not wait for the package/addin system and use that?

Basically you could leave the shared fs system idle while m0n0wall 
boots, and when your init module is called, init the raid drives, mount 
the filesystems, start smbd or nfs server (no need to rewrite core OS) ?

Samba and/or NFS could have configs made on the fly based on the config 
xml when the rc scripts are called.. you could then have things like 
raid or share management as part of the main gui maybe ?
