3DS TWL NAND FAT partitions has FAT volume name "TWL", for CTR FAT partitions this is "CTR". The offset/size for TWL partitions are stored in the MBR partition table, while the CTR partition table info is stored in the NAND NCSD header. Sector0 in the CTR-NAND partition contains a MBR partition table for the TWL-NAND partitions, and the MBR signature at +0x1fe.

NAND partition sectors which were never written to before only contain plaintext 0x00 or 0xFF bytes.
None of the above physical NAND partitions are normally accessible from the ARM11, except for twlp. CTR/TWL NAND FS can only be accessed when the exheader access control descriptor for those are enabled. Normally the CTR/TWL NAND descriptors are never enabled for retail ARM11 [[NCCH#CXI|CXI]] processes. The ARM11 can only access "nand:/rw/" mounted as the nandrw [[FS:OpenArchive|archive]], and "nand:/ro/" mounted as the nandro archive below.
