[SOLVED] EFI Partition won't mount in /mnt/boot

Hello! Sincere apologizes if this is a repeat question, but I am currently experiencing trouble mounting my EFI Partition. When inputting the command "mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot" I receive error message "mount: /mnt/boot: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.". I am unsure of what to do with this. I have formatted the root partition for ext4 already, and /dev/nvme0n1p3 mounted without error to /mnt.

Re: [SOLVED] EFI Partition won't mount in /mnt/boot

Is the EFI system partition (FAT) formatted?

# wipefs /dev/nvme0n1p1

Also check if it is the correct type:

# gdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1

Thank you for your help! I had not realized /dev/nvme0n1p1 needed to be formatted to the FAT file system. Thank you again! This has solved my problem.
