"fs->blocksize" refers to a field "blocksize" in a struct or union that the
pointer "fs" indicates. If "fs" isn't a pointer to a struct (or union)
then the "->" operator isn't valid. What type is "fs"?
P.S. Did you get this code from an email? Perhaps the ">" came from an
email quote that didn't get cleaned up and "fs-blocksize" morphed into
"fs->blocksize". But this looks like a long-shot to me. I expect that
"fs" is supposed to be a pointer to a struct.
