Expanding your data storage to a different partition

I ran into space issues so here is what I did to deal with the situation:

Situation:
/var was running low and /home had lots of free space.

Stopped owncloud
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

cd /home

Create new directory in /home for my ownCloud's data:
mkdir mycloud

Moved my old data:
sudo mv /var/www/owncloud/data /home/mycloud/data


Created a symlink.  Linking to a new storage location:

sudo ln -s /home/mycloud/data /var/www/owncloud/data

Same as above for config directory:
sudo mv /var/www/owncloud/config /home/mycloud/config
sudo ln -s /home/mycloud/config  /var/www/owncloud/config

Set permissions:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data data
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data config

Started owncloud:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
