Okay - figured out that it is easier than I thought thanks to these two documents:

1. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-dir-layout.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-dir-layout.html)

and

1. [How to move Data and Logs to new directory?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-move-data-and-logs-to-new-directory/28382/2)

All running again!
