Anyone?

I've verified that if the NFS server uses UFS2, mkstemp() from an NFS
client to the server works fine, but if the NFS server uses ZFS, the NFS
server returns EIO after creating a file with 000 permissions.

In addition to breaking /usr/bin/install -S, it also breaks rsync over NFS.

I don't yet know if it matters whether the on-disk format is ZFS v6 vs v13.
