According to your fstab, these are all separate devices, so they should
export OK.  You trust this "ccs2" machine a lot, however...  Exporting
root with no_root_squash is a big security hole.

Having two swaps configured like this on the same disk is a net performance
loss.  If anything, you should set one of them to have a lower priority
(via pri=), so that it will only be used if the first one is full.

Out of curiosity, why not just put them into /etc/fstab?
