I'm getting a notification that I cannot open a fcpx library because it says the library is "already in use" but lists my own device as the device that's using it. Why is this happening? How do I fix it?

Make sure FCP has Full Disk Access in Privacy System Preferences.
Where is the library stored exactly? What’s the drive? How is it formatted? What are read/write permissions for the drive and its contents

There is clearly something wrong with the drive. Copy everything off to another drive, then reformat it. If problems reoccur shortly after you should not use the drive anymore. Drives do die.
What’s the drive? How’s it connected and formatted? Did FCP produce that error message? What did?
Hi Tom,
Thanks for getting back to me. Gave FCP Full Disk Access, but that isn't the issue. The library is stored on my Lacie external hard drive. I'm simultaneously having an issue with my computer telling me that I cannot make changes/save to the Lacie at the moment (this issue is new- started last night). I've attached a screenshot of the message I've been getting.
Why do you think my computer isn't being able to save to the Lacie anymore?
