[NCLUG] refcount++ ?

[Eric Brunson]

Find the pids of the processes that have the files open and cd to
/proc/<pid>/fd.  0, 1 and 2 are stdin, out and err for that process
and there will be a link to every other file the process has open.  If
you can't figure out how to reattach the inode you can at least cat
the contents into a new file.
