I recognized your reply from /r/pfsense. Dude, you are running unsupported scenario and using your pfSense as NAS. That is a big no no

And I realized maybe it is not such a great practice to make your router/firewall double up as a backup server. So I virtualized the box using ESXi and ran pfSense and Debian in two VMs on it.

It sounds like that was previously the case, but the complaints above appear to be pfsense in a VM and debian in a different VM. Why wouldn't that scenario be supported?

As I expected someone would, small world :) Just to clarify though I moved to VM based setup after that and had issues due to the hardware being weak.
If you're a BSD fan, why not use FreeNAS + pfSense on separate VMs? Let them both do what they're good at :)
I put Bhyve support in pfSense so people could do this.
