ESXi mounts NFS as root with group root. FreeNAS 9.3 does not have a root group. This results in a successful NFS mount by ESXi, but creating a test directory fails with error: VMware: Call "FileManager.MakeDirectory" for object "FileManager" on vCenter Server "[...]" failed. Change the FreeNAS Unix (NFS) Share Advanced Settings "Maproot User" and "Maproot group" to the equivalent FreeNAS local groups to correct this. Thanks to Benjamin Bryan for blog post https://b3n.org/freenas-9-3-on-vmware-esxi-6-0-guide/ which was instrumental in solving this issue!
