Update: I found this ancient bug report:
https://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/1135

I am indeed exporting PFS's (through null mounts), which is the only way 
to export filesystems that were originally mirrored from somewhere else 
as the root PFS cannot be slaved.  (FWIW, these are now operating as 
masters.)  From a quick look at the client side, it seems that these are 
correlated with I/O errors.

Is this PFS irreversibly borked?  If so, is there something I can do to 
prevent other PFS's from suffering the same fate...?
