what does this output?
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ls /dev/disk/by-id/*|xargs file
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Maybe you have nve disk that does not get translated to /dev/sdaX ?

If you have linux running, try
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ lsblk -f
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Maybe you will see something like

nvme0n1
├─nvme0n1p1 ...
└─nvme0n1p2 ...

which would suggest that your
    /dev/sda1
maybe should be
    /dev/nvme0n1p1

but in general, IMO device references without unique id's are bloody feet waiting to happen.

I would suggest looking at uuid's for file systems, partitions, or devices,
such as you can view with lsblk
