The driver does have an option to specify the names of collections that are to be ignored. This is a comma separated list of collections on the device that the driver is not to touch. If you do want a few manually managed collections, you need to add the names to this option.
Clearly explained.
I will try with such a white list of "ignored collections" feature.
