That's probably your problem but will still have almost no information to go in. We need to know that hardware its running on, the version of FreeNAS, how the VM is configured, the output ofFreenas is on ESXi
zpool status -v
, and the output of lspci

It is a simple smb share with 18 clientsThat's a problem, but doesn't seem to be the problem here. There would be an indication of errors, even if they couldn't be corrected.
We need to know more about your setup, how you're sharing, what clients you have, ...
OK, from what I can gather you are not correctly passing through your drives to the FreeNAS VM. I'm guessing you've created one large virtual disk or RAID array and given that to FreeNAS -- that is a giant no-no. ZFS has no ability to correctly checksum the data and is likely causing your data to become corrupted.
Yes, I have snapshots.You need to reconfigure your server and give ZFS direct access to your drives.
In regard to your excel workbooks, have you pinpointed at what time the file got corrupted? Do you have snapshots? Have you tried https://support.office.com/en-us/ar...workbook-153a45f4-6cab-44b1-93ca-801ddcd4ea53?
