Mount MariaDB data in a separate directory on RHEL 8?

Question

We are migrating from a CentOS 7 server (physical server) to RHEL 8 (Azure server). This server was setup by someone else, and admittedly I know enough to install/configure LAMP. I am not a sysadmin.

That said, here is the output of df -h on the current server:

Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs                       16G     0   16G   0% /dev
tmpfs                          16G  4.0K   16G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                          16G  1.5M   16G   1% /run
tmpfs                          16G     0   16G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/vglocal00-root00  270G  156G  115G  58% /
/dev/sda1                     477M  225M  249M  48% /boot
/dev/mapper/vglocal00-tmp00   2.0G  388M  1.6G  21% /tmp

You'll notice the main storage is used in /.

Here's the new server we are trying to migrate to:

Filesystem                 Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs                    16G     0   16G   0% /dev
tmpfs                       16G     0   16G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                       16G   25M   16G   1% /run
tmpfs                       16G     0   16G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv  2.0G  323M  1.7G  16% /
/dev/mapper/rootvg-usrlv    10G  3.9G  6.2G  39% /usr
/dev/sda1                  496M  229M  267M  47% /boot
/dev/mapper/rootvg-homelv 1014M   50M  965M   5% /home
/dev/mapper/rootvg-varlv   8.0G  8.0G  280K 100% /var
/dev/sdc1                  256G  1.9G  255G   1% /data
/dev/mapper/rootvg-tmplv   2.0G   47M  2.0G   3% /tmp
/dev/sda15                 495M  5.8M  489M   2% /boot/efi
/dev/sdb1                  147G   32K  140G   1% /mnt

You'll see the largest storage is on /data.

Since the biggest file hogs on the current server are the DB's, I was thinking I could put the DB's and their nightly backups on /data and leave everything else as-is. Is this a mistake? Or should the server be reconfigured? /var currently has a LARGE file in it that I can delete so it'll be much smaller.

Any help would be appreciated!
