That's because sda1 is the first partition on sda

Try       fdisk -l /dev/sda

I'm having continuing problems with my DSE XH 8181. Altho it mounts auto
during boot, it shows contents to be zero. Any attempt to copy a file to it
results in a msg " cp: cannot create regular file /mnt/usb/filename : no
space left on device".

My command  df  shows /dev/sda1 zero % usage, 126912 available.

The command  /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda1  produces
"Cannot open /dev/sda1"

Can somebody please explain what I am doing wrong?
........ Fred.
