nobrowse mount option ignored?

Shouldn't it be supported? Also is there a way to disable spotlight indexing on a mounted folder? mds_stores is going wild on fskit volumes.

mount -o nobrowse -t passthrough  ~/Downloads ~/mnt
alexf@MacBook-Pro-3 build % mount
file:///Users/alexf/Downloads/ on /Users/alexf/mnt (passthrough, local, nodev, nosuid, noowners, noatime, fskit, mounted by alexf)```

Shouldn't it be supported?

Yes, it should be. Have you filed a bug on this and, if so, what's the bug number?

Also is there a way to disable spotlight indexing on a mounted folder?

I believe adding a file named ".metadata_never_index" at the root of the volume will prevent this.
