It would be nice if there was a warning on the proxmox installation screen that warns you of installing proxmox with ZFS over hardware raid(raid-5,etc).

I'm assuming that this article applies to us as well as we are using ZFS for various partitions:

Long story short, using hardware RAID on FreeNAS can lead to anything from corrupted writes to fatal errors that require you to invest in costly data recovery services.

So those of us with hardware raid are supposedly losing 5% of throughput according to the article. Of maybe the installer could give you a choice of installing with ZFS or not. Maybe this server was meant to always be a standalone and might not need it since it has hardware raid already.
 
The installer gives you the choice of which FS to use..
