-t in mount is for file system. GPT is not a file system.
Try just mount /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble mounting a 2nd drive

Update:

[root@Catalyst jotunn]# mount -t /dev/nvme1n1p1/
[root@Catalyst jotunn]# cd /dev/nvme1n1p1/
bash: cd: /dev/nvme1n1p1/: Not a directory

I have successfully mounted the partition. (I think)
Now I need to put things in there, but am not able to go to the location.

lsblk will show you where your device is mounted
my lsblk as an example:

lsblk
NAME          MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINTS
nvme0n1       259:0    0 931,5G  0 disk  
├─nvme0n1p1   259:1    0   500M  0 part  /boot

So nvme0n1p1is mounted in /boot

May be because I had just run the same command without /mnt at the end but this is what it told me:

[root@Catalyst jotunn]# mount -t /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt
mount: /mnt: can't find in /etc/fstab.

So nvme0n1p1is mounted in /boot

Based on this it seems the 2nd drive is still not mounted after all:

[root@Catalyst jotunn]# lsblk

zram0              253:0    0     4G  0 disk  [SWAP]

so try
mount  /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt
Without -t
/mnt is an example. You can mount it wherever you want.
If you want to use -t than
mount -t <filesystem-type> /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt
where <filesystem-type> is for example ext4

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble mounting a 2nd drive

I realized a mistake I had made by including the -t arg
without -t I get the following:

[root@Catalyst jotunn]# mount /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt
mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme1n1p1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble mounting a 2nd drive

When I created the partition in cfdisk it never prompted me to pick a file system like ext4
Is it possible that I skipped a step in preparing the device which is now preventing the device from being mountable?

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble mounting a 2nd drive

# mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme1n1

recreated the partition with cfdisk

# mount /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt
mount: /mnt: special device /dev/nvme1n1p1 does not exist.

Re: [SOLVED] Trouble mounting a 2nd drive

Caught another mistake: I exited cfdisk without writing the changes.
I went back and corrected that and am not back here:

# mount /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt
mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme1n1p1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
