I'm trying to setup a new backup server and I'm having issues partitioning the 10TB virtual disk. It appears fdisk/cfdisk-linux are unable to write any changes to the table.
No. You can use ZFS on top of a raw block device. That still doesn't make ZFS the best option for this particular case though, considering it makes the most sense to use it directly on top of individual disks, instead of massive hardware arrays.

Well, for one thing BIOS partitions are unable to exceed 2 TB with current 512 byte clusters. You need to use GPT or dedicate the whole array to a file system or BSD label (ie. no partition table).
