I encounter exactly the same issue with a NFS 4.1 volume on ESXi 6.5a when trying to browse the NFS v4.1 datastore using the ESXi Web Client (not vCenter).

Everything else works fine (creating and running VMs on the NFS v4.1 datastore, copying files, etc.) - only the datastore browsing in the Web Client seems to be a problem.

However, on a ESXi 6.0 U2 host, the datastore browsing works fine (when using the same NFS v4.1 shared volume).

It also works on both ESXi systems (6.5a and 6.0 U2) when ESXi connects to the NFS volume via NFS v3.

In my case, the NFS server is a CentOS 7.3 system and the NFS connection is using AUTH_SYS (as described here: VMware vSphere 6.5 Documentation Library).

Typically the NAS servers use the no_root_squash, as described here: VMware vSphere 6.5 Documentation Library‌.

The NFS export is defined as follows:

/nfsstorage     *(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,no_wdelay).

Just wanted to note that I cannot reproduce JelleHissink's problem with a CentOS 7 based NFS server.
