Unfortunately lsof does not mention anything related to my partition.

I've changed the partition type from ext2 to ext3 but it stays busy.
At boot time instead of the fsck I've a journal operation.

I've killed most of the process, unloaded kernel modules, restarted
the box in single user mode, stopped the network but my partition still
pretends to be busy.
