Those constants are defined in Section 3.3.19 (Page 86) of RFC1813:
const FSF3_LINK = 0x0001;
const FSF3_SYMLINK = 0x0002;
const FSF3_HOMOGENEOUS = 0x0008;
const FSF3_CANSETTIME = 0x0010;
in other words they are specified in the NFSv3 protocol. I've no idea
why they are referred to as "FSF_*" further down in the same section
(instead of "FSF3_*"), but I suspect that is a typo.
