I am getting this message on my Debian 10 VM:
FAT-fs (vda1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.
So I need to check who is /dev/vda1
df -T /dev/vda1
My VM said:
Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1 vfat 523248 6728 516520 2% /boot/efi
How do we check for vfat on Debian Linux 10?
I found fsck.vfat(8) — dosfstools — Debian testing — Debian Manpages and it said run:
fsck.vfat /dev/vda1
But I get new error now:
-bash: fsck.vfat: command not found
Further investigation said:

Now everything worked.
That was fast. Thank you for posting answer too.
