User Partitions

Partition name	Offset	Size	Bis Partition ID	Description
N/A	0x0		20	GPT header, Bis-storage also allows raw access to the entire NAND eMMC sectors starting at sector0.
PRODINFO	0x00004400	0x003FBC00	27	"CAL0" raw partition containing set:cal data
PRODINFOF	0x00400000	0x00400000	28	FAT12 filesystem, additional calibration?
BCPKG2-1-Normal-Main	0x00800000	0x00800000	21	For all these packages, data starts at offset 0x4000 and is not console-unique. This is installed from "package2": on retail it's from FIRM-A 0100000000000819, for unknown cases it's from FIRM-C, 010000000000081B.
BCPKG2-2-Normal-Sub	0x01000000	0x00800000	22	Identical to BCPKG2-1-Normal-Main, probably used as a backup partition.
BCPKG2-3-SafeMode-Main	0x01800000	0x00800000	23	This is installed from "package2" in firmware package B, 010000000000081A.
BCPKG2-4-SafeMode-Sub	0x02000000	0x00800000	24	Identical to BCPKG2-3-SafeMode-Main.
BCPKG2-5-Repair-Main	0x02800000	0x00800000	25	Unknown what title this originates from.
BCPKG2-6-Repair-Sub	0x03000000	0x00800000	26	Identical to BCPKG2-5-Repair-Main.
SAFE	0x03800000	0x04000000	29	FAT32 filesystem
SYSTEM	0x07800000	0xA0000000	31 (and 32?(Error 0x2EE202 is returned for 32))	FAT32 filesystem
USER	0xA7800000	0x680000000	30	FAT32 filesystem
	0x747BFFE00	0x200		This is the backup GPT header specified by the main GPT header. This is also the last sector readable with Bis-storage paritionID 20.

NCAs stored in NAND are raw, identical to the data readable with Content_Manager_services#ReadEntryRaw.

The saves for all non-system applications, regardless of where the application is located(storageID), is stored here. Each user account which has savedata has a separate saveimage. Save-common for an application is presumably a separate saveimage too. Every saveimage here is only for applications.
