It should possible to accomplish your goal without performing "initdb" -
though you may find it easier to forgo the Ubuntu utilities and just write
the necessary pg_ctl commands yourself. You indeed need to use either
"$PGDATA" or explicit command line parameters and just point directly at
the cluster data directory that you mounted - with pg_ctl, not initdb.
Whether that is easier than a simple pg_dump/pg_restore "import" it up for
you to decide.
You might be able to rename things to match the expected structure for the
Ubuntu cluster commands.
