It gets updated when you change the sharenfs property of a zfs filesystem.

showmount will show the zfs exported NFS share that is added to
/etc/zfs/exports:

hp010# zfs set sharenfs=on myzpool/test
hp010# showmount -e
Exports list on localhost:
/myzpool/test                      Everyone
hp010# zfs inherit sharenfs myzpool/test
hp010# showmount -e
Exports list on localhost:

Make sure that zfs_enable="YES" is in rc.conf, restart
/etc/rc.d/mountd, then the mountd command will use both /etc/exports
and /etc/zfs/exports.

So to do nfs with ZFS, all you need to do is:

1. add zfs_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf
2. restart mountd (i.e. /etc/rc.d/mountd restart)
3. add your zfs shares:
  zfs sharenfs=on myzpool/test1
  zfs sharenfs="-maproot=root -alldir -network 10.0.0.3 -mask
255.255.255.255" myzpool/test2

NOTE: sharenfs=on creates a nfs share that is available to everyone.

You should now be able to mount the zfs nfs filesystems on other
systems or locally.

mount -t nfs myserver:/myzpool/test1 /mnt

Unlike /etc/exports, zfs nfs shares are available immediately, no need
to restart mountd.
