Im using RHEL 8.7 I've added new HD nvme0n2 to my linux and created partititions successfully the output of lsblk -f >NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT nvme0n2 ├─nvme0n2p1 │ xfs 5d966f3d-7aca-4f06-bf74-aa32d97aba76 └─nvme0n2p2 ext4 56f6e1d8-58f3-47c7-840b-c1eebc24c3f7 But when I try to mount that hard disk `sudo mount /dev/nvme0n2 /mnt/newHardDrive/ ` , it says > mount: /mnt/newHardDrive: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. when i tried checking in /var/log/messages, it shows: > kernel: XFS (nvme0n2): Invalid superblock magic number I also tried replacing the superblock using the backup superblocks with the command sudo fsck -b 32768 /dev/nvme0n2 But then I get this error: >fsck from util-linux 2.32.1 e2fsck 1.45.6 (20-Mar-2020) fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/nvme0n2 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 or e2fsck -b 32768 Found a gpt partition table in /dev/nvme0n2 Please Help.
