scans a drive that it isn't going to need until something mounts it,

to be something analogous to the NFS "soft-mount" option.
Is the drive in question listed in /etc/fstab? If so, do the mount
options include noauto, and if not, why not? If the drive isn't listed
in fstab, consider putting it there, listed by UUID and including noauto
and see if that helps.
