FSCK keeps hitting locked files

[acemilo]

I'm trying to force an fsck, and this used to work just fine, but recently I've run into the problem of locked files. As of now, I have over 900 files queued that it can't process because "the file is locked by another process". AFAIK nothing is using these files. Is there anyway I can force it to unlock the files?

Thanks!

Specifically look at the part about running an lsof on the files in question, because most likely something does actually have them open.
