Speaking of hardware, does the DB or the overall volume on which it
resides during the test, goes over the ~130 GB ? Could a filesystem or
other OS I/O limitation barrier be hit ?

You're using RedHat, but some Windows versions for instance had known
problems (and available fixes) to overcome a big disk limitation
around 130 GB (combination of some BIOS support and OS support to
overcome the limit).

Just throwing a new idea in the mix...

Anyway, Nicholai seems confident that according to his computations, a
table occupying more than about 70/80 GB of compressed data is the
limit.
