What is the best way to share a Data partition on a Linux KVM-QEMU host with a Windows VM guest?
I could use Samba networking and connect to the drive as a network share but I was hoping there might be a simpler way.
Thanks,
Nick

I would use KVM's (and QEMU's) internal Samba networking (which you are referring to, I guess). It works just fine and is pretty easy to setup, just pass
-net smb=/somewhere/data
.
