#236219 — How can I force "fsck -y" of a removable usb drive before mounting it?

Hi,

$ uname -a
Linux e130 4.19.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.98-1 (2020-01-26) x86_64 
GNU/Linux
$ cat /etc/debian_version
10.2

I have a removable mp3 player that gets auto-magically mounted as:

$ mount |grep sdb
/dev/sdb1 on /media/oc/PHILIPS type vfat 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2


Every time I plug it in, I get this message in dmesg:


[47212.945001] FAT-fs (sdb1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some 
data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.

Whatever way I umount this drive (either manually via terminal or 
right-clicking the icon on the desktop), I get the above message when I 
re-mount it.

Is there a way to tell Debian to perform a "fsck -y"
on the drive before mounting it? For example, an entry in /etc/fstab or 
some trickery somewhere in systemd?

Thanks

This should be a one-time thing, so if you unmount it from the
terminal and run fsck, it should work next time.

I don't think running fsck automatically is a good idea when you don't
have a way to check the output...
