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.
(Storage -> select the shared volume, then the left-most icon at the
bottom is "Change Permissions".)
