I believe this is the inode generation number. If yours are all zero, 
then that just indicates that you haven't run fsirand(8):

SYNOPSIS
      fsirand [-x constant] [-p] special

DESCRIPTION
      fsirand writes random inode generation numbers for all the inodes 
on de-
      vice special.  These random numbers make the NFS filehandles less 
pre-
      dictable, increasing security of exported filesystems.
