During a backup of a home directory I noticed loads of Chromium and Firefox
crash/recovery files being copied over. However, I don't know if this is a
btrfs problem, or the fact that I had to forcefully shut down KDE once or
twice recently, because the desktop would not logout/shutdown normally.
The fsck which ran when the machine rebooted did not revealed any problems.
Is there a different recommended way for checking for fs errors?
