+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+ <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache_disk.html">mod_cache_disk</a></code> implements a disk based storage
+ manager for <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code>.</p>
+
+ <p>The headers and bodies of cached responses are stored separately on
+ disk, in a directory structure derived from the md5 hash of the cached
+ URL.</p>
+
+ <p>Multiple content negotiated responses can be stored concurrently,
+ however the caching of partial content is not yet supported by this
+ module.</p>
+
+ <p>Atomic cache updates to both header and body files are achieved
+ without the need for locking by storing the device and inode numbers of
+ the body file within the header file. This has the side effect that
+ cache entries manually moved into the cache will be ignored.</p>
+
+ <p>The <code class="program"><a href="../programs/htcacheclean.html">htcacheclean</a></code> tool is provided to list cached
+ URLs, remove cached URLs, or to maintain the size of the disk cache
+ within size and/or inode limits. The tool can be run on demand, or
+ can be daemonized to offer continuous monitoring of directory sizes.</p>
+
+ <div class="note"><h3>Note:</h3>
+ <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache_disk.html">mod_cache_disk</a></code> requires the services of
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code>, which must be
+ loaded before mod_cache_disk.</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="note"><h3>Note:</h3>
+ <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache_disk.html">mod_cache_disk</a></code> uses the sendfile feature to
+ serve files from the cache when supported by the platform, and
+ when enabled with <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#enablesendfile">EnableSendfile</a></code>.
+ However, per-directory and .htaccess configuration of
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#enablesendfile">EnableSendfile</a></code> are ignored by
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache_disk.html">mod_cache_disk</a></code> as the corresponding settings are not
+ available to the module when a request is being served from the
+ cache.</p>
