Stupid penguin trick I learned: Add a file inside ramdisk (i use /dev/shm) as LVM PV.
pvmove off the hard drive
Boom, now your OS lives entirely in RAM
You can now even replace the hard disk, put a new one and migrate back.
Or migrate to network storage (nbd,iSCSI etc.), re-sequence disks into whatever RAID you need, and migrate back
Need to fix /boot after that tho, and probably make sure to not have power failure in meantime
