 I'm running postgres on a virtual server
 
 I was wondering if there were any known issues with moving the data
 directory to another mounted partition / filesystem.  

Define moving

Also, it is recommended to separate system logs, WAL, and data onto separate
drives where possible.  Are you wanting to just move data or all of these
things?

I find putting all the disks in one big happy raid10 and leaving 
everything on the same file system works just fine, achieves evenly 
balanced IO
