NFS share problem:- RPC: Program not registered

Hello everyone, I just setup a FreeBSD server, added a few zfs
datasets, and shared them over NFS by using `zfs set sharenfs=on `.
Everything works fine, but on every subsequent reboot I have to
manually restart the `nfsd` service, or I get the error `RPC: Program
not registered ` on the client machine.

   Here's my relevant 'rc.conf'

    zfs_enable="YES"
    rpcbind_enable="YES"
    nfs_server_enable="YES"
    mountd_enable="YES"
    rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
    rpc_statd_enable="YES"

How do I get rid of this issue?

I had a similar problem with my homemade NAS.
So I simply use NFS the standard way instead of through ZFS.

My observations : It seems that ZFS create the exports file in
``/etc/zfs/exports`` but mountd seems to look for ``/etc/exports``
even it has a func for zfs config in ``/etc/rc.d/mountd`` I get this
log
```
Jul  8 22:26:32 [1245]: /etc/rc.d/mountd: WARNING: /etc/exports is not
readable.
Jul  8 22:26:32 [1249]: /etc/rc.d/mountd: WARNING: failed precmd
routine for mountd
```

Thanks a lot, your solution worked. I just copy pasted
`/etc/zfs/exports` to `/etc/exports`

Would probably be better to symlink in this case.  That way you won't
have to copy every time you share another dataset.  Happy to hear it
works!
