A file system for a capture system, the file system comprising: a plurality of queues to queue captured objects to be written to a disk, each queue being associated with one of a plurality of object types, wherein each queue contains captured objects of the type associated with each queue, and wherein the plurality of queues includes a catchall queue for objects not having their own designated queue, and wherein the object type is determined by a content classification, wherein the captured objects are respective pluralities of packets that are broken down by the capture system and then reassembled, and wherein the object types include a plurality of object types that comprise at least a first object type denoting e-mail objects and a second object type denoting word processing objects, the packets associated with a document that includes the objects, wherein the document is captured based on a capture rule that specifies the objects, and wherein a determination is made as to whether to discard or to store the objects of the document; a scheduler to select one of the plurality of queues; a block manager to select a partition of a disk, the partition being associated with the object type of the captured objects in the selected queue; and a disk controller to write blocks of data from the selected queue to the selected partition such that the captured objects represented by the blocks of data may be retrieved in response to a query to search for a tag included in one or more objects, wherein each captured object has an associated tag that includes the object type associated with each captured object.
