Aha, it's an NFS server option. Thanks!
nfs server show -fields v3-hide-snapshot

Does anyone know if there's a way to hide .snapshot in directory listings, but have it still be accessible if you know the name? This is how .zfs/snapshot works, and it's an (IMHO) elegant way to make snapshots accessible without having a naïve find, du, etc. at the root of the filesystem descend into deep snapshot hierarchies.
Note that I do see the snapdir-access field on volumes, but setting that to false seems to block access to .snapshot completely, which isn't what I want.
Thanks,
Michael
