<p>Permissions. No joke... Root isn't root when NFS is involved. Don't bother trying to get ESXi to try operating as non-root, as easily fly to the moon by flapping your arms. Instead configure a host-specific override on FreeNAS mapping root to a real user on FreeNAS that owns the volume/subvolume/share. Manually chown/chmod if necessary.</p>
<p>(Storage -> select the shared volume, then the left-most icon at the bottom is "Change Permissions".)</p>
