I asked for help getting an Elite 3 (ST43400N) working on a 4/370 running
4.1.1.
Well I only got one reply but thats not surprising. I do not believe there
is a problem with this combination.
I don't know what was wrong when I sent my request, but the following
morning I re-checked the partitioning, re-wrote the label, re-newfs'd the
partitions, and everything worked fine.
The only thing I did different was
newfs (default)
mount
df (to check size)
umount
tunefs -m 2
mount
df (to check size)
instead of
newfs -m 1
mount
df
Note I opted for 2% instead of 1%.
Anyway, I now have two working partitions and lots of happy users busy
trying to fill up the new space.
The one reply I had was

Thanks, I'll take a look at the patch description. This may be
relavent to other users - I only used format for partitioning, I did not
need to actually format the drive.
