As I said, it could (may be) explain the problem we had when running to
instances. But this is NO LONGER the case.
It's not clear for me what you call shared mapping. If you are talking
about mmap(), it is synchronized cluster wide and this should not be the
problem (for example we have an IMAP server relying on MMAP and we never
experienced any corruption in our cluster config). But I suggest to
concentrate on corruption that occurs in the single Apache instance
configuration during GET operations.
