What type of remote disk? NFS? A more common case would be to move some directories to /arch and use sym links. You could create a loopback diskfile somewhere on /arch and add that to LVM. It's going to make bootup messy, so you wouldn't want any volumes on it that are required for bootup (especially / or /usr or /sbin, and probably not /var) ...
