init the cluster on the file system you want using -D, assuming the VM
can access that file system.

FYI, best practices is not to run on NFS, so do not be surprised if

No, you just need to make sure the Postgres clusters are listening on
different ports. That means going into postgresql.conf in the cluster
and changing the port variable.
