Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, you might look at the 'lsof'
command. I think it is a standard command line tool in OS X which
lists open files (which includes devices, etc, since everything is
file in Unix...) Honestly, I'm not that handy with this command so
you may have to do some digging in all the cruft which is returned
and read the man page to narrow things down to what is sensible
for your search. For example, lsof -p 12345 lists files open
by that process. You may need to run it as root to get the whole
picture.
