Status stuck at "Looking for Drive" with drive attached

[psalocin]

The issue I'm running into is even with the second drive attached, which I can manually mount, the scripts appear to not detect it. As seen below, the second 1.5TB disk is attached and can be mounted but doesn't result in any change to the myNode drive status.

NAME   MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0   10G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0    9G  0 part /
├─sda2   8:2    0    1K  0 part 
└─sda5   8:5    0 1022M  0 part [SWAP]
sdb      8:16   0  1.5T  0 disk 
└─sdb1   8:17   0  1.5T  0 part 
sr0     11:0    1 1024M  0 rom  

So far I've tried a raw partitionless drive, adding a partition, formatting as ext4, with no change in detection.

Resolved it by repeatedly detaching and re-attaching the virtual disk. Haven't looked into the detection interval yet but I did leave it attached for a few hours with no status change in .mynode_status file...
