File system for prefered tools:

Hello! I'm looking for right FS(Btrfs, ext4, Xfs, Zfs, etc) for working with many files(size close to a few KiB up to one-two MiB) and many read\write requests on HDD (laptop).
Python compiling\building, Version Control with Git, SQL-transaction, FTP. Backups are not needed.

Re: File system for prefered tools:

Really, only you can determine the right choice. Moreover, there is unlikely to be a uniquely right option. It depends on more than your intended use e.g. on how important stability is, fault tolerance/repair and whether you want to deal with update complications (zfs) etc.

If you use ext4, you should read Bytes per inode ratio before creating the file system(s). (I wish I had.)
