how to mount Drobo5n NFS onto a FreeNAS
I want to natively mount a Drobo5N NFS share on my FreeNAS (FreeNAS-9.2.1.7-RELEASE-x 64 fdbe9a0)
Currently I have to use an iMac to play intermediate mount point for both Drobo and FreeNAS device -- this is a very slow process for mounting and doing bulk copies. The issue seems to be with the FreeNAS for mounting:

[root@freenas /mnt/ZFS-Raid-Z3/]# showmount -e 192.168.1.5
RPC: Port mapper failure
showmount: can't do exports rpc
[root@freenas /mnt/ZFS-Raid-Z3/]#
Drobo uses its own proprietary method of storing data which is inconsistent with FreeNAS. Are you trying to cluster DROBO with FreeNAS?

No, I am looking to reformat the FreeNAS ZFS partition(s). First step is to backup the data. Hence the Drobo via NFS.
I do have ssh access to the Drobo and all items there seem to be just fine. The issue still seems to be on the FreeNAS.
Drobo is using a flavor of Linux and FreeNAS is OpenSolaris if I understand its parentage correctly. THAT could be inconsistency. :)

going to the mounting the share on an OS X device and forcing the double network traffic to write the data.
