It'll automatically be set to the first filesystem created.
Now that I go look for the setting, I remember it's actually got the
slightly esoteric internal name of "legacy_client_fscid" (because it's
the filesystem ID that will get mounted by a legacy client that
doesn't know which filesystem it wants). You set it with "ceph fs
set-default", but it looks like it got left out of FSMap::dump, so
there's no easy way to peek at it.
