When you say "one/per export", what exactly do you mean?

For exporting ZFS filesystems via NFS, I've always used /etc/exports.
I've never used the "share" property per ZFS filesystem, because in my
experience (at the time -- this was early days of ZFS on FreeBSD) it
just flat out didn't work.  Using /etc/exports always worked for me.

I always liked having all my exported filesystems in one place
(/etc/exports), versus UFS ones in /etc/exports + ZFS ones requiring me
to use "zfs get ..." and so on.

Does it really bother you that much to have multiple lines in
/etc/exports (using NFSv3)?
