[Update] Can't mount VeraCrypt files after shutdown

When I had loss of power and my computer shut down with several VeraCrypt mounted on at the same time, on next reboot I couldn't mount the same files were are set to certain VeraCrypt slot in their directory on `/mnt`, and I get the following message:

mount: /mnt/veracrypt1: mount point does not exist.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

I search with dmesg, but I can't find anything that could help me repair this.

Update

I finnaly caught report in dmesg

[  922.887818] loop0: detected capacity change from 0 to 71680
[  922.982154] FAT-fs (dm-2): utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!
[  922.983846] FAT-fs (dm-2): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.
[  922.996193] FAT-fs (dm-2): utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!
[  922.996227] FAT-fs (dm-2): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.

Should I boot a live disc and run fsck in the partition?

However, I can mount the files when I choose a different slot to open, other the one was set in Favorite Volumes.

What should I do?

my computer hard shut down with several VeraCrypt mounted on, on next reboot I couldn't mount the same ((files that were mounted) which are set to (certain directory on `/mnt` in VeraCrypt slot)), and I get the following message:
where did u get the message(other people dont know which tool u used)

mount: /mnt/veracrypt1: mount point does not exist.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

hvae you check if:  /mnt/veracrypt1 exist

why need a live disk

However, I can mount the files when I choose a different slot to open, other the one was set in Favorite Volumes.

i dont know what your slot look like. I would assume that the other slot contain difirent param since slot is just a logical vol name in /dev/mapper/veracrypt$slot_name. there for it work
