[SOLVED] I cannot use fsck with FAT32

I tried to use fsck on a USB memory stick but it does not work:

sudo fsck /dev/sdc1
fsck from util-linux 2.39.2

I am quite sure this worked in the past, does anybody know why it isn't working anymore?

It works fine on ext4 though:

sudo fsck /dev/nvme0n1p1
fsck from util-linux 2.39.2
e2fsck 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023)
Data: clean, 345/23592960 files, 14925004/94371840 blocks

Re: [SOLVED] I cannot use fsck with FAT32

Is /usr/bin/fsck.fat present?

No,  /usr/bin/fsck.fat is not present. I see that fsck.fat is in core/dosfstools, which I have not installed.

Thank you Head_on_a_Stick, I guess the problems is solved now.
