Ok, thanks. I vaguely knew about nmount(2), but didn't realize it was
being used for server exports. (The MNT_EXxxx flags are/were used by the 
NFS server and are relevant when set on an exported local fs like UFS/FFS.
As such, they are either generic mount stuff or UFS/FFS specific. I
think ZFS keeps its own export stuff, so making it UFS/FFS specific
might make sense?)

Anyhow, it's not urgent, since the server works ok without any additional
flags.
