it would be possible to create a virtual machine that would run a NAS (CIFS or NFS) server - so create a virtual machine, give it a large amount of disk space from the datastore, and then have the VM share the disk as either CIFS or NFS. Then other VMs could use that space for storage (but that space would not be available as datastore space, upon which a vm disk would be stored - so some datastore disk space would need to be available to create other VMs)
