I've got a Centos 7 dedicated server with a SSD + a nvme ssd with 400gb. I followed a tutorial to mount + format (as xfs filesystem) the nvme disk so that I could setup my NoSQL databases on that drive. However every time I reboot my server the disk disappears and the mounted folder is empty again.
What commands I ran to mount the disk:
fdisk -l
Returned:
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 400.1 GB, 400088457216 bytes, 781422768 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical):

mkfs.xfs /dev/nvme0n1 -f (-f was required after the first time)
mkdir /database
mount /dev/nvme0n1 /database
Afterwards it lists the drive when I run df -h, but once I restart it also disappears from that list. What am I doing wrong?

Try adding this to /etc/fstab:
That should do the trick.
