I shut it down, rebooted with LiveUSB, btrfsck'ed it and ... no errors.  :-/

I fstrim'med it, fsck'ed it once more and ran a smartctl short test.  Still no 
errors.

/dev/sda is an SSD, with /dev/sda2 being mounted as / and /dev/sda3 mounted as 
/home.

I took a fresh back up of /home, just in case, but I don't know what to make 
of the above.  Do you see something familiar in the syslog errors shown above?
