What I would use is the fuser command in /sbin. More info can be found
by using man fuser or info fuser. The idea is this for a cdrom drive.
fuser -m /media/$MY_CD_ROM
This will list all associated PID that are accessing the file or file
system.
then an fuser -k -m /media/CDROM
will kill all the processes accessing the drive
