+Upgrading pre-Firefly filesystems past Jewel
+============================================
+
+.. tip::
+
+    This advice only applies to users with filesystems
+    created using versions of Ceph older than *Firefly* (0.80).
+    Users creating new filesystems may disregard this advice.
+
+Pre-firefly versions of Ceph used a now-deprecated format
+for storing CephFS directory objects, called TMAPs.  Support
+for reading these in RADOS will be removed after the Jewel
+release of Ceph, so for upgrading CephFS users it is important
+to ensure that any old directory objects have been converted.
+
+After installing Jewel on all your MDS and OSD servers, and restarting
+the services, run the following command:
+
+::
+    
+    cephfs-data-scan tmap_upgrade <metadata pool name>
+
+This only needs to be run once, and it is not necessary to
+stop any other services while it runs.  The command may take some
+time to execute, as it iterates overall objects in your metadata
+pool.  It is safe to continue using your filesystem as normal while
+it executes.  If the command aborts for any reason, it is safe
+to simply run it again.
+
+If you are upgrading a pre-Firefly CephFS filesystem to a newer Ceph version
+than Jewel, you must first upgrade to Jewel and run the ``tmap_upgrade``
+command before completing your upgrade to the latest version.
