You cannot export UBIFS via NFS so far, because we did not implement
NFS support inside UBIFS. In other words, UBIFS cannot be NFS server's
backing FS. But we are planning to implement this, we just do not have

No, in this case you mount some other file system via NFS, co you are an
NFS client. It should be fine.
