Unfortunately no.  CLVM will allow you to slice up a shared storage  
into pieces across nodes, but it won't let you run MD RAID across them.

I really recommend CLVM on top of Coraid units here.  See http:// 
www.coraid.com.

Maybe you could roll something using GNBD, but I don't really know if  
that works well.
