Hi,

I would like to see a clear statement on this from the devs:
- does owncloud support changing the data path or not?
- if yes, what are the steps to properly do that?

The problem is, as Masaki noticed that in some tables of the db full 
paths are stored. Changing the data path and transferring the data files 
are definitely not enough, you need to change many records in the db as 
well.
