Fuser recursively

[d4mo]

Is there anyway to get an fuser(finding what has a file open) recursively?

What do you mean by recursively?

My guess would be to have it check all files under a given directory recursively, to get the full list of processes using anything under that directory. I have the same question myself; I'm trying to clear out /var on a system so I can set it up as its own partition, and that would make it a lot easier to find out what I need to kill before I move the old files.

Edit: This script, modified from linuxquestions.org, seems to do what I'm looking for:
