Easy. mount it from the system you want to "reeexport" instead of
from the system you want to do the "reexporting".

Ie: If you have machine A with it exported and machine B that has
too small a disk and Machine C that wants to install it, install
machine C from machine A and forget about using machine B for the
job.
