Thank you for the advice. It must take some time to check 1T HD on a
celeron with 512 ram. I will probably do that at night.

I guess, the drive should not be mounted when I check. My USB drive is
mounted in /media, and the file manager has to options
a. Mount
b. Eject <-- is it enough

Could you help with the correct syntax ? Do I need some of emergency
switches below?

Usage: fsck.ext4 [-panyrcdfvtDFV] [-b superblock] [-B blocksize]
		[-I inode_buffer_blocks] [-P process_inode_size]
		[-l|-L bad_blocks_file] [-C fd] [-j external_journal]
		[-E extended-options] device

Emergency help:
 -p                   Automatic repair (no questions)
 -n                   Make no changes to the filesystem
 -y                   Assume "yes" to all questions
 -c                   Check for bad blocks and add them to the badblock
list -f                   Force checking even if filesystem is marked
clean -v                   Be verbose
 -b superblock        Use alternative superblock
 -B blocksize         Force blocksize when looking for superblock
 -j external_journal  Set location of the external journal
 -l bad_blocks_file   Add to badblocks list
 -L bad_blocks_file   Set badblocks list
