SUMMARY: file handles

Very late summary but I was hoping to get a solution before I posted. 
No such luck.

I had several replies to this, all assuming I knew the filesystem in
question.  fuser was one suggestion as was lsof.  Neither of these will
do what I was looking for.  Just to clarify the situation:

In /var/adm/messages there is an entry with the file handle but no file
system.  The process that generated the file handle is long since gone,
but whatever filesystem this handle references is still holding the
mount.  Normally with fuser or lsof you give the filesystem in order to
determine what handles are holding the mount point.  I am going in the
opposite direction; I need to know the filesystem.  So 'fuser -cu
/<filesystem>' is not something I can manage.

In any case, 2 respondants sent a script called fhfind (search google). 
I think the concept is correct but it did not work for me because it
assumes the mount point is still in the mnttab, which I don't think mine
was, or the device id was incorrect.  So the mystery lives on.
