Cannot mount or eject external USB hard drive
#1
I am very new with Linux, so I need very high level feedback. Any help is appreciated!

I am trying to mount my external hard drive (done many, many times) after a few copy processes hung up and having issues.  It's really important for us to retain the data on this drive.  I unmount and try to eject and receive another error.  My external hard drive is lit up constantly as though it's hung up.  I'm afraid to just unplug it.  Any ideas?

I have a File Operation Progress screen showing four copies in progress (I've clicked on the X next to each to cancel them, but those are all hung up, saying "Canceling" with nothing happening in the status bars).

When I try to eject the device after I unmount it, I get: Failed to eject "FreeAgent GoFlex Drive". / Error opening /dev/sde: Device or resource busy.

When I try to mount the device I get: Failed to mount "FreeAgent GoFlex Drive". / Error when getting information for file '/media/mountainlover/FreeAgent GoFlex Drive': Transport endpoint is not connected.

Any help is appreciated!
