+If you upgrade an existing instance of MongoDB to MongoDB
+|broken-version|, that instance may fail to start if ``fork: true`` is
+set in the ``mongod.conf`` file.
+
+The upgrade issue affects all MongoDB instances that use ``.deb`` or
+``.rpm`` installation packages. Installations that use the tarball
+(``.tgz``) release or other package types are not affected. For more
+information, see :issue:`SERVER-74345`.
+
+To remove the ``fork: true`` setting, run these commands from a system
+terminal:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+ 
+   systemctl stop mongod.service
+   sed -i.bak '/fork: true/d' /etc/mongod.conf
+   systemctl start mongod.service
+
+The second ``systemctl`` command starts the upgraded instance after the
+setting is removed.

 "rolling" upgrade to minimize downtime by upgrading the members
 individually while the other members are available.
