I got that too the first time I tried. Apparently we have to use the command for "writing" data on the card first so that there will be data to be "read" once you try the command for "reading". Also just a quick reminder/disclaimer from the website where I got F3:

I did the tests on a newly-purchased MicroSD card...I only had one file in the card which is the 2GB video file I used in the testing as mentioned in Post #1, although when I re-ran the test without deleting the video file, it didn't seem to get overwritten. Anyway the author of the file said that the program will overwrite/delete files only if the card has a problem (marked with underscore above). Hope this helps.

EDIT: did you happen to "rename" or "put a label" on the MicroSD? I labeled mine as "MICROSD" as mentioned in the command I used as an example.
Right now I'm testing it on my /home/user folder:
./f3write .
Free space: 1.48 GB
Creating file 0001.fff ... OK!
Creating file 0002.fff ...

it took very long time. I will report back the results. So far my writing speed:
./f3write .
Free space: 1.48 GB
Creating file 0001.fff ... OK!
Creating file 0002.fff ... OK!
Free space: 0.00 Byte
Writing speed: 1.96 MB/s

My reading speed:
./f3read .
SECTORS ok/corrupted/changed/overwritten
Validating file 0002.fff ... 1004304/0/0/0
Validating file 0001.fff ... 2097152/0/0/0

Data OK: 1.48 GB (3101456 sectors)
Data LOST: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Corrupted: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Slightly changed: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Overwritten: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Reading speed: 13.06 MB/s

The tool is eating all my free space in /home/user:

df -h .
Dateisystem Size Used Avail Use% Eingehängt auf
/dev/mmcblk0p2 2,0G 2,0G 0 100% /home

Without my super-duper tweaks my read speed is much more faster:

./f3read .
SECTORS ok/corrupted/changed/overwritten
Validating file 0002.fff ... 1004304/0/0/0
Validating file 0001.fff ... 2097152/0/0/0

Data OK: 1.48 GB (3101456 sectors)
Data LOST: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Corrupted: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Slightly changed: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Overwritten: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Reading speed: 19.42 MB/s

And again with my super-duper tweaks:
./f3read .
SECTORS ok/corrupted/changed/overwritten
Validating file 0002.fff ... 1004304/0/0/0
Validating file 0001.fff ... 2097152/0/0/0

Data OK: 1.48 GB (3101456 sectors)
Data LOST: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Corrupted: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Slightly changed: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Overwritten: 0.00 Byte (0 sectors)
Reading speed: 18.70 MB/s
