Default cephfs and librbd volumes statuses are "Unknown"

After following the wiki to create a hyperconverged cluster, my `cephfs` and `librbd` volumes on my host servers have a little grey question mark next to them, and a "Status: Unknown" help text when i hover over them.

Since they're there by default, I figured that once I got down to the pool creation, that it would create a default way for that volume to be utilized.

I checked `pveceph pool ls`, and found just the `.mgr` pool. Continuing down that rabbit hole, I created a pool rbd, but that just showed up as a new usable pool called `rbd`.

The reason that I'm not creating a librbd pool is that I'm checking another cluster (set up before I got here), and it just has the `rbd` pool set up, and the `librbd` pool showing as active in the UI.

Sorry if this is a mess of words, I'm just trying to figure out how much I need to hack away at this instead of just letting it gracefully do things in the way that it wants to :) Hope you can understand.
 
Turns out that `cephfs` and `librbd` were both created without backing ceph pools. Once creating those and setting up authentication, they worked fine.
