I have no good memories of hpux servers. :-D But yes, the linux LVM was 
inspired by HP/UX's. The best integration of volume management was 
probably AIX, where (for example) the package manager would check 
whether enough space was available on relevant partitions and ask if you 
wanted to grow them if there was not. I think (but I'm not certain) it 
could offer to shrink other volumes to make that possible. Don't take 
that as a recommendation to use AIX. :-D :-D

If there was fiber, it was probably FDDI or maybe ATM (155Mbit). 
10BASE-F ethernet was a thing, but only made long runs possible rather 
than making things particularly fast.

>What was the data throughput like?

Maybe as good as your phone...this was probably 30 years ago or more.
