If you logout as your user(s) so only root is logged in, does lsof show
any hits for /home?

I had a similar problem with my MythTV backend failing to unmount /var.
It turned out that mythbackend was failing to shutdown but openrc carried
on trying to shutdown. If I make sure mythbackend really is stopped, the
reboot proceeds normally, which is much better since I had to go into the
loft to reboot the box manually,
