I noticed in dmesg this 50 errors like this:
FAT: Filesystem panic (dev hda7) in <fat_bmap_cluster>…
FAT: Filesystem panic (dev hda7) in <fat_bmap_cluster>…
FAT: Filesystem panic (dev hda7) in <fat_bmap_cluster>…
….

i tried:

1. fsck msdos /dev/hda7

fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
fsck: fsck.vfat: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.vfat for /dev/hda7

---

1. fsck /dev/hda7

fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
fsck: fsck.vfat: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.vfat for /dev/hda7

But looks that fsck.vfat is not available
Can you help me to fix this?

Thank you in advance.

I would plug the drive into a PC and do a disk check from there.
