I'm trying to mount my NFS41 share from my Freenas box onto ESXi for backup purposes. However, it always mounts as read-only for some reason.

I have tried from the GUI as well as the CLI with no success, I specifically leave the --readonly flag off of the command

If I list my NFS41 shares I get:

[root@esxi:/vmfs/volumes] esxcli storage nfs41 list
Volume Name    Host(s)              Share                Accessible  Mounted  Read-Only  Security   isPE  Hardware Acceleration
-------------  -------------------  -------------------  ----------  -------  ---------  --------  -----  ---------------------
BackupStaging  [      snip       ]  /mnt/Backup_Staging        true     true       true  AUTH_SYS  false  Not Supported

The share is not set as readonly on my NAS.

Why is it mounting as read only, how can I get it to not mount this way?

The reason is that FreeNAS supports NFS v4, but not NFS v4.1

Can you check the permissions on the NAS layer (root access, etc.). If possible you can change the sharing protocol from NFS to iSCSI which is faster and very powerful.
