Upgrading Ceph
==============
+.. DANGER:: DATE: 01 NOV 2021.
+
+ DO NOT UPGRADE TO CEPH PACIFIC FROM AN OLDER VERSION.
+
+ A recently-discovered bug (https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/53062) can cause
+ data corruption. This bug occurs during OMAP format conversion for
+ clusters that are updated to Pacific. New clusters are not affected by this
+ bug.
+
+ The trigger for this bug is BlueStore's repair/quick-fix functionality. This
+ bug can be triggered in two known ways:
+
+ (1) manually via the ceph-bluestore-tool, or
+ (2) automatically, by OSD if ``bluestore_fsck_quick_fix_on_mount`` is set
+ to true.
+
+ The fix for this bug is expected to be available in Ceph v16.2.7.
+
+ DO NOT set ``bluestore_quick_fix_on_mount`` to true. If it is currently
+ set to true in your configuration, immediately set it to false.
+
+ DO NOT run ``ceph-bluestore-tool``'s repair/quick-fix commands.
+
Cephadm can safely upgrade Ceph from one bugfix release to the next. For
example, you can upgrade from v15.2.0 (the first Octopus release) to the next
point release, v15.2.1.
Pacific is the 16th stable release of Ceph. It is named after the
giant pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini).
