Assuming you are write protecting /etc for a reason, simply mv everything in /etc/lvm to your new location and replace the lvm dir with a lvm symbolic link to your location. In the far past when booting with RO devices I had lots of links in /etc/ pointing to files that were not on the read-only and/or writable-but-lost-on-boot(overlay) device.
