After running for a while ES the machine was stuck b/c of memory reasons and I was requested to redivert the nodes to a new partition called data,

I did so by:  
path.data : /data

but after doing so and restarting the ES the nodes are still in /var/log and the data partition is empty.

Is this the correct way? If no what is the correct way?
