NVM_DIR can't be a symlink - see #617 - so you'd have to hard-mount the directory on a different drive.

Researching the web I found something similar and it is to give full read, write and execute permissions to all roles, both user and group and others
so that there is no impediment

example

chmod ugo+rwx <<external-drive-location>>
