Description
Sharing same underlay over a wiki farm almost works except two noticable bugs/mis-features.
MoinMoinBugs/UnderlayPagesCanReceiveAttachments - still actual (reported in 2005-05?)
- When doing copy-on-write edit lock is taken on the underlay page and is apparently never released?
Steps to reproduce
For
- Just attach attachments to page in Underlay not otherwise modified yet
- Check locks on Underlay page after instantiating it through copy-on-write edit (or try to edit it in another instance in the farm)

Workaround
For
- Be careful to check that users have not attached files to underlays (in backups and upgrades)
- Don't share underlay in farm unless you want phantom locks to confuse your users
Discussion
Please only submit 1 bug per report. This makes stuff less confusing.
For 1: this is known and usually is avoided by having read-only ACLs on the underlay pages.
For 2: can you try if it also happens without mod_python? We recommend mod_wsgi, btw., because mod_python has triggered all sorts of problems in the past.
