+ * CephFS snapshot is now stable and enabled by default on new filesystems.
+ To enable snapshot on existing filesystems, use command:
+ - ceph fs set <fs_name> allow_new_snaps
+
+ The on-disk format of snapshot metadata has changed. The old format
+ metadata can not be properly handled in multiple active MDS configuration.
+ To guarantee all snapshot metadata on existing filesystems get updated,
+ perform the sequence of upgrading the MDS cluster strictly.

+ For filesystems that have ever enabled snapshot, the multiple-active MDS
+ feature is disabled by the new version MON. This will cause the "restore
