remounting boot partitions errors (vfat)
by Aeterna from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MZ81)
manually unmounting and re-mounting /boot/efi
generates dirty bit errors:

example from VM, but the same behavior in the host on nvme
I don't have /boot/efi entry in fstab as it is not needed for boot, however each time I install a new kernel, I need to mount /boot/efi
and then I see dirty bit error.
This is pretty old story but I could not find any solution.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you.

Differences: (offset: original/backup) 65:01/00 Not automatically fixing this. Dirty bit is set. Fs was not properly unmounted and some data may be corrupt.
