I dont know if you attached the drive or a partition - if just the latter then you would only expect to see xvdi - Try mounting that and see what happens. Alternatively run fdisk or cfdisk /dev/xvdi and see what is reported. You can mount these during qube startup from /rw/config/rc.local or alternatively use bind-dirs to have a per-qube fstab.
