What file systems are you using on your devices and why?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, as far as I know, BTRFS and ZFS are the recommended file systems for NAS's. They have self-healing capabilities so I can be slightly more sure that my data does not get corrupted over time.
Is self-healing process automated or you need to somehow enable it so it happens from time to time?
You have to run a so-called
scrub
command that checks for errors and tries to repair them. You can automate to run it every month or soIn a cronjob or something alike?
Yup
