The creation of a geom provider triggers the tasting. I suppose you
could create a new driver to matches the device preferentally to umass
or what ever device it normally attaches it and provides a simple node
for it. That sounds like a lot of work and you haven't explained why
you can't just let the tasting happen and ignore any partions that are
found.
