-## Use example of f3write/f3read
+Testing performance with f3read / f3write
+=========================================
 
-```
-$ ./f3write /media/michel/5EBD-5C80/
-$ ./f3read /media/michel/5EBD-5C80/
-```
+f3read / f3write assume your USB Drive is mounted.
 
-Please replace "/media/michel/5EBD-5C80/" with the appropriate path.
-USB devices are mounted in "/Volumes" on Macs.
+NOTE: Change /dev/sdX1 on the command line for your USB Drive.
+NOTE: Change /mnt/usb  on the command line for your mount point.
+
+   # mkdir /mnt/usb
+   # mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/usb
+
+WARNING: f3write may destroy any previously stored data on /dev/sdX
+
+   $ f3write /mnt/usb/5EBD-5C80/
+   $ f3read  /mnt/usb/5EBD-5C80/

-### Bash scripts

+Bash scripts
+============
 
 Although the simple scripts listed in this section are ready for use,
 they are really meant to help you to write your own scripts.
 So you can personalize F3 to your specific needs.
 
-    f3write.h2w - Script to create files exactly like H2testw.
-        Use example: `f3write.h2w /media/michel/5EBD-5C80/`
+   f3write.h2w - Script to create files exactly like H2testw.
+
+   Use example:  f3write.h2w /mnt/usb/5EBD-5C80/
 
-    log-f3wr    - Script that runs f3write and f3read, and records
-                  their output into a log file.
-        Use example: `log-f3wr log-filename /media/michel/5EBD-5C80/`
+   log-f3wr    - Script that runs f3write and f3read, and records
+                 their output into a log file.
 
-Please notice that all scripts and use examples above assume that
+   Use example:  log-f3wr log-filename /mnt/usb/5EBD-5C80/
+
+The two example template scripts are in /usr/doc/f3-${VERSION}/
+
+Please note that the scripts and use examples above assume that
 f3write, f3read, and the scripts are in the same folder.

+
+Quick capacity tests with f3probe
+=================================
+
+f3probe is the fastest drive test and suitable for large disks because
+it only writes what?s necessary to test the drive. It operates directly
+on the (unmounted) block device and needs to be run as a privileged user:
+
+NOTE:  Change /dev/sdX on the command line for your USB Drive.
+
+WARNING: f3probe will destroy any previously stored data on /dev/sdX
+
+   # ./f3probe --destructive --time-ops /dev/sdX
+
+
+Correcting capacity to actual size with f3fix
+=============================================
+
+f3fix creates a partition that fits the actual size of the fake drive.
+
+Use f3probe?s output to determine the parameters for i3fix:
+
+   # ./f3fix --last-sec=16477878 /dev/sdX
