If the root filesystem is on an LV, then removing all traces of LVM will
be non-trivial, even if you have access to the system. Remotely it will
be quite difficult, and will require someone rebooting the machine using
a live CD of some sort that you can use to manipulate the system. You
will also need adequate spare disk space to move things around without
losing them.
