Changing $CFG->dataroot In Config File

Hello All,

We are running into some syncing issues with our web servers and are looking to make a change in our config file to rectify the problem. 

If we move the moodledata from /home/www/moodledata/ to /home/moodledata, change the $CFG->dataroot value to the new location in config.php, would this impact the Moodle performance? Is there any risk involved?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Brad
