Assuming that's a new, empty LUN, I'd suggest you do clear the partition table first, before trying to create a new datastore.
see Clear a Device Partition Table in the VMware Host Client

I'm not familiar with TrueNAS.

Assuming that you access the LUN via iSCSI, double-check the presentation on the NAS, as well as the network settings on the NAS, and the ESXi host (e.g. same MTU ...).
