Default digidesign databases created automatically

Can someone tell me: is there some way of STOPPING Protools from automatically creating a new Digidesign Database every time a new volume is mounted? (on Mac OSX) This is a real hassle! For example: I connect an iPod to my USB port while PT is loaded; ProTools puts a Database on the iPod. I then can't eject my iPod without quitting PT.

any suggestions much appreciated.
