You mean the "Used by" column? No, it's not used by any other module according to lsmod output.

Any other methods of checking what uses /dev/sda*?

There's a good chance that if it was loaded at system boot, hald or
udev may be doing something with it.

This machine doesn't have hal; when I kill udevd still doesn't help.

Yes, something's using that drive, be it a program, a module (unlikely), or something that is compiled directly in the kernel (for example, md/raid1).
But what is it?

Kernel knows it, as it refuses to remove the module (via rmmod), but how to tell kernel to share this knowledge with me?
