Yea, I'd only use "mount -t newnfs" if for some reason you want to
test/use the experimental client for nfsv2,3 instead of the regular one.

For ZFS, everything from the "root" specified by the "V4:" line
must be exported at this time. So, if "/" isn't exported, the
above won't work for ZFS. You can either export "/" or move the
NFSv4 root down to backup. For example, you could try:
V4: /backup -sec=sys:krb5
/backup
(assuming /backup is the ZFS volume)
and then a mount like:
mount -t nfs -o nfsv4 server:/ /mnt
will mount /backup on /mnt

ps: ZFS also has its own export stuff, but it is my understanding that
putting a line in /etc/exports is sufficient. I've never used ZFS,
so others will know more than I.
