Maybe your flash drive is similar to mine. If it is flashing slowly
blinking on and off it means that the drive is on and functional. My
drive does this even before it's mounted. If it's being read from or
written to it will stay on and flicker very fast. It is safe to pull
the drive if it is blinking on and off slowly and is unmounted.

HTH,
Lorenzo

I have a Lexar 512mb JumpDrive, and what I do from a terminal command
line is sudo su, then enter my root password...Type umount /dev/sda1 and
the Icon on the screen is removed...Now plugging it back in, it will
detect the jumpdrive, and the icon shows back up...

Using eject does the same thing...

One or the other is all that is needed...
