I have always understood that *any* open files would prevent a partition from being unmounted, and I assume the same is true for remounting the partition as read-only. Therefore, using this assumption, *every* file listed via "lsof +D /usr" must be closed before the kernel will permit the partition to be unmounted or remounted. But perhaps I'm wrong.
