Hi exofs is not a distributed file system in the nfs-client 
sense. All meta-data operations happen on the single exofs mount.
The distribution of an exofs cluster is done by an NFSD-like daemon
that supports pNFS, and an std pNFS-client.
So the code you see below is just the same as an ext4 FS with
a raid of iscsi devices below it. (Even if then later this FS is
exported by an NFSD server)

That said it is fine as is don't sweat over this unused FS so:
