I have installed proxmox with raid10 on 4hd each of 2tb - but I see 16gb left and md0 as raid1 ?

How and where did you install PVE? The Proxmox VE installer does not offer MD Raid and we do not support it.

Also CODE tags help quite a bit with terminal output :) In the text editor under the three dots next to the emoticon button.

I will try to install it using the proxmox iso with vnc..
and better with a raid1 on 2 disks, and zfs on the other two,
or a big raid10 md raid
 
The installer only offers ZFS as software RAID. You can do a ZFS based RAID 10 which will be a pool of two mirrored VDEVs in your case.
