Hi Stefan,

The 'fs' struct is provided by the caller and is now initialised
and uninitialised within this function. Can't this function
use a local 'fs' variable? If not, why does it need to be uninitialised
again? This is a bit confusing -- though perhaps it's an idiom used in
the FS code that I'm not aware of?

Can't we check for a specific error code here, and return the
error otherwise? This would make the intention of the error handling
code explicit and avoid masking of arbitrary error conditions.
