I am attempting to attach NFS on vsphere via freenas.

When I 'add storage' in vsphere and enter the details as follows:

server = 192.168.0.24
folder = /mnt/freenas
datastore name = freenas

when I attempt to create the NFS I get a error:

Call "HostDatastoreSystem.CreateNasDatastore" for object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi "server" failed.
NFS mount 192.168.0.24:/mnt/freenas failed: The mount request was denied by the NFS server. Check that the export exists and that the client is permitted to mount it.
An unknown error has occurred.

I have checked settings in freenas and from what I can see all looks ok.

Any suggestions? its driving me mad!

Currently at work so will report back later.

I am pretty new to freenas and vm's so have been playing around with different setups for a few weeks, when I initialy created a NFS store a few days ago it worked fine, since then I have rebuilt my esxi host but as above cannot get NFS to connect.
