From my personal experience the things that DON'T show up in lsof are:
mountpoints (and bind-mounts)
nfs

So if there is a mountpoint inside, you have to umount that first. If 
you have a NFS-export of the mountpoint or something inside the 
mountpoint you have to remove that export or stop NFS for the moment it 
takes to do the umount.

There may be other things that don't show up in lsof, but i don't know 
about them.
