Thanks. I thought that perhaps devkit-disks might be polling for a floppy.

That's current.

Just to eliminate devkit-disks, can you please kill the process sr0 and
see if the flashing stops?

$ sudo kill 1765

If not then

$ sudo kill 1760

Note: if you've rebooted since your last post you'll have to check
devkit-disks again to get the correct pid.
