Sir!!!! YOU'RE A FUCKIN' GENIUS! LOL! kidding! anyway. can you try downloading that https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases/tag/v8.1 Luma zip and test if you can extract it? I saw that my boot.firm has 0kb and when I tried to extract the zip file, it always fail.
FYI: I am using a CWF reinand n3ds XL
So here's how things happened.
I opened my console as usual and something popped-up and I shittingly clicked ok(not sure if its update or restart) and then suddenly its not booting up anymore. tried it several times, the reinand boots up but it always end...
I finally modeled and 3d printed the new HDD cages I need in order to build my 2nd NAS. Original ones don't fit the mounting holes on the hdds I'm using. Been sitting on this project for over 2 years smfh
Also another 70TB going in the front mount drive bays of this server. 182tb raw, going to probably use a zfs RAID-Z3 for 3 parity disks, so 140TB usable
I could claw back 14tb by only doing 2 parity disks but I feel like with 13 disks in the RAID I'd be kind of pushing my luck on rebuild time if I encounter a disk failure
