On Arch Linux Arm website there's a guide how to get Arch running in a few minutes for each of the supported devices.
The Arch Linux Arm rootfs already set with a root user, network (dhcp with netctl) and the ssh daemon, so the minimum required to get the NAS up and running is to:
* Run pacman update.
* Set up the timezone.
* Change the root password and add a non root user.
* Set fstab for mounting your external storage device.
* Set NFS and/or Samba for sharing.
And that's it, you've got a NAS.
The Arch Linux Wiki is probably one of the best Linux Distro Wikis, you just need to follow the related Wiki pages.
I also recommends to:
* Understand the basics of Linux file permissions, umask and read about chown, chmod commands.
* Read about Pacman and Aur in Arch Wiki.
* Install extra services like Transmission, Avahi, OpenVPN.
I think it's a better to write these hints than to publish a thorough guide, this way you will have to understand what you're doing.
