Removable pbs datastores and jobs

Hello.
I am testing a "cheap tape-like" pbs system, using a lot of unused hard drives and USB dockers.

I have created 4 different drives, and each one has one or more sync jobs to copy on mount and unmount as ended.
But, how can I run prune and garbage collect jobs ?
If I mount the drive, it executes sync jobs and unmount it, so I don't have time to run other jobs manually; to do it, I need to modify every sync job to disable "run on mount" flag. So, it will be very useful a "mount with no jobs" button, for maintainance tasks or simply to look at the content.
It also be useful some options like "run after sync tasks" for each "verify/prune/garbage collect" task.

Thanks, Fabrizio
